Olympia is one of Marcia's isn't she?
I've kept the humidity closer to 60%. When it got down to 50 I would find some eggs sinking. With my first clutch I didn't know they would plump up again with more moisture so I destroyed 2 thinking they were bad. Since then I have used Marcia's advice about waiting for them to look like a science experiment gone bad. I had 100% hatch with my last clutch and 5 of the eggs were surgically removed. Some of them candled yellow right up to hatching. A couple were brown and some of the shells weren't well calciumized (don't think that's a word but I hope you know what I mean). I was truly suprized at that. 2 of the babies are quite a bit smaller than the others. Wonder if that had anything to do with it.
Good luck with the eggs. It's a great experience.
