how long have they been incubating? are they close to hatching? this happens often just before they hatch. I would recommend temps in the low 80's. you should not mist them that often! is there some reason your humidity is not holding any better? many people recommend distilled water, but due to some question of it carrying chemical contaminants if stored in plastic for extended periods, I do not keep it in plastic...or I use a natural spring water instead, and balance the pH with a simple quick test strip kit commonly used for pools. Distilled water is not supposed to leach off organic minerals from the body, only inorganic, but I still have doubts as to it's effects on the calcium of incubating eggs.

another question is are they fertile? were they disturbed too much or turned after being laid?
