What humidity should my incubator be if I'm going to incubate eastern Hermanns eggs?

I have never measured the humidity in my incubators. I moisten the medium, and re-moisten it as needed, and I keep a small cup of water in there.

Here I be!

Humidity should be 70%. I prefer to keep them on 100% dry vermiculite in deli containers. I keep open bowls of water in the incubators to help achieve the 70% humidity and only lightly mist the eggs a few random times during the incubation period. Once they are nearing their due dates, I increase the light misting and they will start to pip.
