Quote: Yup, I did that too. It didn't work. Well, it raised the humidity by about 5%, to 57%. Not enough!!! The bator is still running with all the jars and sponges in it, it looks quite funny really... do you have a picture? that humidity should be reading higher with that much in it.. have...

Quote: try standing sponges upright in the jars so they stick out of it by several inches.. all of the exposed sides of the sponges will increase the water's surface area without taking up the real estate of the incubator floor..

thermostat videos (not sure if you can use any of the info in these to help yours or not):

Quote: can you move the thermostat closer to your heat source?.. if you can it tends to have a lot less temp swings.. also I know you can drill holes through the ceramic of certain kinds of thermostats to make them more sensitive (there is a video on it somewhere.. i'll have to look for it)...

that should do it... is the bottom of the bator itself raised up a bit so air can get to the holes you made?.. if not you may want to put a little something under it to raise it up a just a teeny bit..

Quote: Yes, they do. I only know that because I remember reading a post where someone said they would sit their LG on top of a big pan of water to get the humidity up through the floor holes. And if floor holes are the best idea, I'd happily remove the tray thing and make a few. I was even...

I could be wrong.. but i BELIEVE the styro bators that you buy in the store even have some holes in the bottom of the incubator.. maybe someone who has a LG or a hovabator can check on that

with the tray in place it's going to be hard to put holes down the sides... and i'm sure the tray is there to make cleaning it and sanitizing it a lot easier so I would add some holes (hot skewer will work fine) just above the edge of the plastic tray.. no need to worry about adding too many...
