Egg temperatures

[West Coast Jungle]

I usually do 88 or 88.5 or. In the summer I go on the cooler side because my room gets warmer and temps can warm up in the bator at miday. Most bators only heat, not cool so you want to allow for increase if room temps go up.

I do have 1 incubator that does heat and cool called an ARTI, but that is for my dragon eggs which incubate at much cooler temps.

I have a little iris tub that was covered with press and seal plastic wrap and the tub lid. Inside I have very wet vermiculite (pretty much mud) with an egg crate with 1/2 inch pvc pipe legs... so the vermiculite / water will not actual touch the eggs.

2.) with this setup, is there any such thing as too much humidity if the eggs are not in direct contact with the substrate?
!

sorry if this is a stupid question but if the eggs are not touching the substrate why does it matter what is used, would just plain water not work then?

It was suggested to me that I use substrate just so that the eggs dont get splashed if I ever have to move the box.
