Well, after listening to Mark r, I decided to do an experiment. I had a number of eggs that did not hatch this year, although last year my success rate was 2 successful out of 3 eggs. This year in the same incubator - nothing. (to be fair, I think my problem this year were too young males, not the incubator).
Anyway, my girl laid three eggs today. I put them into the vermiculite (completely covered them). The substrate it slightly damp. Not quite wet but not dry. Let's see whether the fan in my herp nursery will dry out the eggs. In theory, the eggs are in the ground in the nature, and they do sometimes get slightly wet if it rains. I wonder if this will work better for the incubator I have.
