I personally don't measure the humidity in my incubator. I let the eggs and the box tell me what to do. Like Jenny stated, if the eggs are dimpling, they are too dry. If water is beading on the lid of the egg box and dripping on the eggs it's too wet. I have never lost a bp egg from humidity issues doing it this way. If you setup your substrate properly you will never have a problem. With vermiculite use a 1:1 ratio by weight and then add water until it clumps together nicely but you can't squeeze any water out but it still breaks apart easily. With the no subtrate method, well that's just soooo simple. Up until this year I always used vermiculite and now I use the no substrate method even though I swore I never would. IT'S JUST THAT EASY.
