What do you guys think is a good incubator ambient humidity?



I've got some eggs in the incubator from an albino to het albino breeding and I'm losing a couple of them every so often. A few are sweating kind of bad.



My ambient humidity is around 92-97%. Readings are from 2 different digital humidity gauges.



Incubator temps are around 81.3-82.5 degrees.



I used a mix of about 1:2 - water and vermiculite by weight. I use around 300 grams of vermiculite to 150 grams of water.



I made up a new mix last night with a little less water and put a 1/2" or so of Perlite over the vermiculite to raise the eggs off the vermiculite.



What do guys think?



I have other clutches in the same incubator that look great compared to these albino eggs.
