The right egg containers humidity really isn't a factor. Wether you use deli-cups or some other type of plastic tupperware type container just make sure your incubation medium(stuff you put your eggs on)is properly hydrated. If you use vermiculite the best way to determine the correct amount of water is to thoroughly wet the medium. Then scoop it up in your hand and squeeze all access moisture until it stops dripping from your hand. The medium should clump up and stay together without dripping. When you have that consistancy its perfect. Now if your using perilite its a little different. Once again make sure that your containers for the eggs are sealable and have no holes in the sides. With perilite your going to need a digital scale so you can add water at the proper rate. I believe is .8 ratio thats recommended. I have had success with .5 Hope this all helps.
