Great on the humidity.  You're brave pulling them.  I wait so long and then am disappointed when very few hatch.  I just feel still too new to decide if it's viable or not.  These last eggs I had, I waited til day 14 to pull them.  I hope it works out for you.  Even if it's just one on your first hatch, it's so worth it.  Just, be ready to go buy it a friend if the one is the only hatchling.  They cry.  They need a friend.
