Excellent info Terry......thank you much! These are the kinds of tips we need to share.
Another tip I can offer is the following:
I had some condensation water from the glass top drip on one egg early into the clutch's incubation. This is not good. So I just sprinkled some of the vermiculite over that egg to "sponge up" the moisture and the egg looks just fine now. The clutch will be hatching at the end of this month. Of course, this will only work if you are using vermiculite, or vermiculite and perlite for the substrate in incubation.
