Yea Frank I think that too much moisture in the incubating material itself is the worst. I learned that the hard way years ago. I've heard the same from friends who have bred a lot of asian ratsnakes. I think in a warm incubater that too much moisture in the substrate can make it sort of muggy(excessive humidity) to the point of not only too much moisture being absorbed by the eggs via the substrate but also from moisture settling on the eggs. It can often make the eggs hard and definatly promotes a nice healthy mold growth.
