humidity advice during incubation

[rbailey182]

i posted this in the snake section but no one seems to be helping
basically just following on from Angel posts regarding our hoggie laying 4 eggs, she has done everything advised by everyone n here but one thing im concerned about is how mosit the incubator needs to be as its a homemade one obvious i dont want it too moist in there as i know it can damage the eggs so the question is how moist should it be what do i need to look out for if the moisture is too much...

thanks in advance

hi, we use moss to put our eggs on, if you soak it in warm water then drain as much water as poss from it. moss will soke up the water, then put it in the tub, put the eggs ontop. if the moss drys up you can add water to it with out messing with the eggs put some holes in the tub if you get condensation on the tub lid put another hole in. to many holes it will dry out to quick, less holes to much water.hope this helps

hi, the problem i had with that was i can trap cold air in it and if the eggs are on it can kill the egg or it maybe how we used it, try it alot of top breeders do. good luck
