Help!!!!!

Should i put a wet paper towel so they hatch on it??

No, keep the eggs from getting wet. Put the paper towel, folded into a smallish square, or sponge into a suitable shallow dish of water. That will allow enough moisture to evaporate to bump the humidity up.

Make it a small and shallow enough dish so that the sponge or towel completely covers the water so no hatchlings drown. All it takes is a chick to let its head drop into water for an instant for it to drown.

That's way too low. I lock down at 70% usually.

Oh no!!!! I’m so sorry!

99% chance it's not dead and just resting. They need a lot of rest after 21 days of incubation/little muscle use followed by an hour or two of stringing to bash its way out of its shell.
