    Incubation Humidity?

    About what humidity do you keep in your incubators at?? I know it should be 87-89 degrees, but what about the humidity?? I am going to try using a cooler as an incubator, with water in the bottom, the eggs in a container with vermiculite and pearllite on bricks to keep the container elevated. I will use a water heater to keep the humidity and temp up, but i was curious as to what would be, approximately, the right humidity? 90-95%?? Anyone have any experience/ideas? Thanks for your help all!!

    I havent had an expierience but I believe 90-100% I would wait for someone who has hatched eggs already to respond!

    Re: Incubation Humidity?

    I've never once measured humidity while incubating ball python eggs ... but, if I had to guess, I'd say that it feels like almost 100%.

    Great thanks, i didn't know if it was something that wasn't really a big worry, as long as it was up there and the temp was correct.
