I knew you didn’t have one. You would have mentioned it if you did.It’s okay. You are at least keeping track of the air cells. Try dry rice in some container. However, it really could be okay. Pictures help.
I used a hygrometer the first like two or three times I hatched, honest! I just found that it was easier and less stressful to track air cell growth instead (no additional number to be worried about and all that). I will check them and get pictures tonight after dark. I set it in my phone so I have no excuses now for forgetting to.
This I did not know. I've had hatches where I ran it without water for a period to get air cells up to where they needed to be, but usually I get results by now for doing it, so now I'm kind of more worried again.
I went ahead and took them to a dark room to candle them for pictures early (and managed not to drop them, phew). First egg is on day 13 and second egg is on day 11.
