I had this suggestion given to me; get the "shoebox" size plastic container, drill a few (10-12) 1/4" holes in the top, and incubate with the lid on. The idea is it helps hold moisture in the egg area not just the incubator. Check every couple days, if there's condensation on the bottom of the lid, you're good. If it's dry, add water. If you have a handful of run-off water on the floor from removing the lid, you're too wet. Just a suggestion. It works for me and I put the eggs directly in the substrate. I do belive I have vermiculite though, not perlite.

Good Luck
