What am I doing wrong? This is her third clutch, the first clutch of five all hatched out perfectly, the second clutch of six all collapsed, her third clutch that she just layed last week, started collapsing but seemed to stop when I raised the humidity. One of the eggs still looks perfect but the other six are kind of iffy. I am keeping them at 82-84 and right now the humidity is in the 90's. the collapsing happened over night the day that she layed them and i raised the humidity the next day. by the way she is a chinese water dragon.

you said it yourself - humidity! Keep the humidity as close to 100% as you can. That should solve your problem

What substrate do you have them in? I have mine buried about 2/3 in pearlite, and covered in peat moss. When the pearlite feels dry, I carefully moisten it with distilled water in a dropper, down the sides of the tub. I also lightly mist the peat moss daily. This seems to protect them from mold.
