Hi i was woundering what the idea temps. and humidity levels for a incubator.

So no one knows any thing about incubators and eggs.

The temperature should be in the 75-85 degree range.
The humidity should be high (guessing 85% or so).
The moisture level of the medium in which you incubate the eggs may be more critical than the overall humidity in the incubator, depending on how you're doing it.
For example, the eggs we have here are in moist vermiculite in plastic tubs, with lids placed loosely to cover but also allow air exchange. These containers are in the incubator, which has its own reservoir for water in its base.
The incubator we use is a 'still air' model (no fans), which means that the evaporation rate is low.
Hope that helps.
