Hi,

Iv had 2 clucthes of python eggs go partialy bad.
I didnt candle theme, and one started to go bad a week before the other. And now there is only 30% left of both clucthes.

This is what Im afraid has happend, water drops from consendation killing theme.

For some reason Iv had alot more consendation on the lid this year than ever before.

I use the no substrat egg crate method with wet perlite and another with wetsponges below(a experiment).

Both works, 100% humidity etc.

But there is the problem of condensation, what do you guys do to stop condensation forming or to soak it up without having to take of the lids on a daily basis wiping it dry?

Also is waterdrops detrimental to python eggs in it self, Iv heard both to be hounest. And Iv seen diamond python eggs with water dripping on theme that still all hatched.

I once did Maternal incubation and that female urinated on here eggs etc so I do not think 1 drop of water would kill theme.

If anyone has some points Iv posted they could clear up or tell me something I didnt know, Id be very happy for any help.

Thanks
Bård
