At this time i do not have a problem, i would just like to gather some info so I know what to do if certain problems arise. Please tell me what symptoms the following typically result in. I would feel much better knowing everything that could start going wrong with the eggs so I immediatly know how to fix it.

Too humid=?
Too dry=?
Too cold=?
too hot=?
Now i now how to hold humidity and temps and i have my eggs at 88 degrees they have been in the incubator( hova-bator) for about 3 days now and already a couple show signs of wrinkling, and slightly collapsing. Is this a concern, or just normal? Thanks for the info, Brian.

Did you candle the eggs? They shouldnt dent in till the last 2 weeks of incubation. It might be too dry

was weighing them about every 5-7 days and adding water to the vermiculite if their weights were decreasing (as the Barkers suggest in their bp book). I believe they said something like a 10-30% weight increase from oviposition to hatching gave them the best yield. Anyway, that was what I did and I hatched 8 out of 8 using a hovabator. Good luck!
