Wonder whether it would be possible to set the mom up in your incubation tub i.e. inside your incubator? Would require a pretty deep tub of course. And you would need enough air holes to not put mom at risk of oxygen deprivation, which would then give up some ground on humidity. But it avoids the problem of mom setting up over the hot spot in your rack, and the humidity would probably still be better than most vented racks . Probably could only work using light diffuser on top of saturated vermiculite; direct contact with medium exposes mom to too much risk of belly rot even if you are only gone one week. Not sure how keen mom would be about dropping a clutch on light diffuser either. Don't know if this is even feasible, just thinking out loud...Dave
