Thank you, good to know the humidity can be that for maternal incubation. I just got an incubation thermometer/hydrometer, and unfortunately the hydrometer is stuck at 99% no matter where I put it so unless I fix/return that, it's basically useless for now, but my general cage hydrometer is reading in the 70s-80s so I think humidity is fine. I just removed all the slugs I could see when I realize how easy it was to identify them; they were so much smaller, though I candled them just to be sure they were slugs. I think they were going bad which may have not been a good thing to have near the viable eggs.
I had some in person suggest Vermiculite so I ended up getting that which seems to be holding humidity well; I did not have moss handy nearby but the Vermiculite seems to be doing the job. It's just a bit messier than the moss would probably be. I moved the probe closer to the ground level of the eggs (which I could finally do with the slugs gone) and saw the temps were indeed higher at 88. Thermostat is now oscillating between roughly 88 and 90 I believe (UTH meant for the snake).
Thanks for the advice!
