What to look for: Too low of a humidity level will cause the eggs to desiccate, go flat. If you see the eggs getting indentions or looking deflated you'll know the humidity is too low.
When they do desiccate they will never regain their shape but you can keep stop it by increasing humidity.
Here's what happens when humidity gets too low.

All the eggs in the photo hatched but the babies were very dehydrated and had wrinkled skin due to it.
If you look closely you can see a labyrinth burmese's head sticking out of the egg on the bottom row, 2nd from left.
Do like Kelly said & keep humidity above 80%.
Yell if ya'll have any other questions.
Take care! HH ----- Due to political correctness run amuck, this ol' hillbilly is now referred to as an: Appalachian American
