With Styrofoam lid off to show incubating pan. Two small holes on either end of plastic lid for oxygen. 50/50 Perlite/vermiculite with distilled water added then squeezed out excess. In early weeks of incubation wiped condensation off lid frequently, but medium always stayed dry feeling to the touch. No water on eggs. About two thirds way through pyro incubation when adding bull snake eggs added a bit of distilled water as condensation seem to be decreasing to the point I thought a tad more water was warranted. Now just bull snake eggs due mid August. Candled them last night and saw veins. Eggs are dry to touch but plastic lid shows moisture. I think the key is to have the medium dry to the touch but high ambient humidity. Lizard eggs have same conditions although in their own incubation pan and are nice and pink as they should be. Due late August.
