Cross your fingers for me. 1st hatch

[midnitesun]

The humidity is the only thing I'm worried about right now. That's why I put it in the bathroom. I might run up to the dollar store and get a few sponges to add some humidity to it.

I dont worry about humidity any more for the first 18 days. Just a dry iincubator an no way to tell what the humidity is. Days 19,20 an 21 I use a fogger pluged in to a humidastat an it keeps it at 70%. Im sure I could do better but I'm not losing sleep trying to get a 100% hatch. This weeks hatch was 60% but that was my eggs.

Good luck! I'll be watching! I'll be setting into MY Christmas incubator as soon as I am sure I have some fertile eggs...roo just out of isolation a few days ago!

How do you hook it up to your bator? I have that same fogger here (i use it in my hermie tank during the summer). I thought I would try it out.

oh... I have seen them. I have one of the humidity things that has a little fogger in it I got from hallmark. do you put it outside it?

I have it in my incubator but my incubator is a full sized fridge. It would fill a small incubator up with fog to fast for the humidistat I built to regulate it.
