I have an incubator set up with 2 Russian tortoise eggs. I currently have it set up with a lidless Tupperware in the incubator. I have vermiculite on the bottom of Tupperware and sphagnum moss wet then rung out so damp on the top of the eggs. My temp is 88.6 and my humidity ranges in the 70s.
Some questions I have:
1. I’ve been periodically wetting the sphagnum moss to keep it damp? Is assuming the goal to keep the sphagnum damp correct?
2. Do I need to rewet or do anything with vermiculite?
3. It is real humid here now. What do I do when the humidity spikes? Lately the humidity in my house has been getting up to 70 pushing incubator humidity up to 80. Assuming the goal is in the 70s I’ve been adding dry sphaghum moss to the incubator to help lower the humidity.
4. Any other useful info would be appreciated.
Thanks
