my incubator is registering 94% is that too moist

[hoo-t]

No, the closer to 100% the better. Just be sure there is no water dripping on the eggs.

What do you have in the eggs???

[Lockes]

I bred my normal female with my male pastel.

Holding thumbs for good odds!

I seem to have some condensation build up on the lid of the tubs.....the incubator humidity in the tub is 100%

should I worry about this

It's only day 2 and I already want to open up and check on them

[Lockes]

anyone?

I read some where that you should tip the container slightly so the condensation runs to one side and doesn't drip on the eggs.

What i do is take a few pieces of paper towel and lay over the eggs. It should catch any drops of water. Depends on how much i will change the towel ever day or everyother day. If its getting to much then you might want to tip the container just a little. I dont know ive never did that but sounds like it should work. Just make sure you dont tip it to much. I was thinking about trying a few pieces of news paper. The paper towel soaks up the water quick. The news paper might let more of it run off to the side. Might not have to change so often. Another thing you can do is put a few small holes in the egg box. Dont do to many a few small ones should do. If you do to many or to big. Its hard to keep it humid enough.
