Humidity

[henney penny]

For those who have the Brinsea octagon advance incubator.Need some help keeping the humidity up the last 3 days, its winter here so the air is extremely dry even with a humidifer going.Any tricks? I did add rolled up paper towels in the water wells last year but it still wasn't enough.I don't want to open to add water if I don't have to..Thanks for any help

Cut up a sponge into pieces and add accordingly.

If you can't get it up inside, you gotta get it up outside. Clean out a small room like a closet and put the incubator and humidifier in there. Also, try to cut sponges to fit the wells rather than paper towels. 65% is good, but if you can't keep it there, that's a problem.

Another plus to using a closet is it will be really dark when they hatch, so they won't run around and knock the other eggs as much.
