What is the proper humidity levels for African spurthighs thank you
Yes it is common. First time Moms often have no fertility or low fertility, so 6 out of 12 is pretty good.My first Sulcata clutch hatched 6 eggs at 78 days, I still have 6 more eggs from the same clutch incubating and I'm now at 115 days. The eggs have weight to them so I'm assuming they're fertile. My temperature is 88.7, humidity is 48%. Is this common? Do I just continue to let them incubate? Help.
Thank you so much for responding. I have not seen the How to incubate eggs thread. I appreciate your help I see I didn't explain well. This is my females 2nd clutch. Same time in 2015, she laid 4 eggs, I incubated and none hatched. She laid the 2nd clutch on 10/1/16. 6 hatched on 12/18/16. I knew 78 days was really early. Unfortunately I didn't weigh them, they were about 1" in diameter. They have doubled in size in 5+ weeks. I still have 6 incubating (7 actually, 1 is very light in weight, I'm sure it's empty). Should I increase the humidity and allow them to continue to incubate? Today is 116 days. is it beyond the timeline they could hatch? Should I break one open and see if its not fertile. Thanks again for your help.
Do you have ideas how I can increase the humidity in my incubator? It's my understanding I should have it at 90%.Way to go.

Thank you so much! I'll cover all holes and see how much it improvesLittle Giant styrofoam incubators have holes on the bottom (that's probably why your incubator leaks) and on the top lid as well. Cover all the holes on the bottom and as many on the top as needed to get the humidity level where you want it. After plugging the base holes, you can also fill the bottom troughs with water.
