20, 10 before you drill the air hole, and 10 after.

Oh...what I wanted to mention, before I got sidetracked....regarding Mike's suggestion about adding humidity w/o popping the lid...I wedged the end of a plastic drinking straw onto the end of my smallest funnel, taped the joint in place with electric tape, cut of the excess straw length, & stuck it into one of the plug holes, right above whatever I use to hold water...should work like a charm.

Yup! Got a straw and paper cup. It's a big hole! The water easily pours in without spilling.

LOL, I know that!!! I am just experimenting to find what works, and wanted to make sure it wasn't so low it would cause embryonic damage.... Don't remember what the level was and can't find the link.
