I agree.. I don't see how they could get too "humid".. they nest in mud. I did read someplace that eggs may take on too much moisture (?).. combined with too high incubation temps and they may explode (?)

All of my eggs from November.. on ..look real good and I'm keeping them in the low to mid 80's. I've lost at least 25% of my eggs since late July.. and you can see why I don't want to lose anymore.

That first hatchling is looking more "normal" each day!

Look close at the mud.. she's in.. Thanks Dan..

Terry
