You said..."She was eggbound awhile ago"...you mean she never laid the eggs and couldn't? What was the end result of it?
You said..."this is her first fertile clutch"...sometimes the first clutch laid after the first mating consists of some fertile eggs and some infertile eggs...so that could be part of the reason that some are shriveling and molding. You didn't tell me how long they have been incubating for.
You said..."A little more of the eggs are starting to shrivle. i put some more water in, but it is looking worse. I am starting to think i might want to wait and let humdity decrease. is it ok to do this or should i be freaking out and lower humdity right away"...I'm not positive, but I think the first thing that too much humidity will do is make the eggs swell. If they swell too big, they can literally "explode".
What temperature did you say you were incubating them at?
This site has some information on incubating panther eggs...

You asked..."on a side note, how long are panthers normally gravid for before laying eggs"...usually about 30 to 45 days.
Hope that the 1/3 that look good will hatch for you!
