Incubation

[Luvthemanimal]

Ok...... So I have my banana split lizard eggs in a zoo med incubator.... But I'm having issues.

I have the 6 eggs in a container with 2" of vermiculite. 6 holes drilled in lid and 8 holes (2 each side) of container....

Temp for incubator is set to 90 degrees which is making the temps in the container 80-83 degrees........ But my humidity is 99% and I don't know how to bring it down or if I should.......

I even took the lid off the container and let it sit for awhile and the humidity stayed at 99%......

I removed the humidity sensor and set it on my desk to read my house humidity and it read it correctly.... So I know its working......


Please help I'm getting frustrated with this and want these eggs to survive.

These lizards are so fresh to the market that they are not captive bread but wild caught....... So any you buy have been plucked from the wild and sold to you...... So the info on them is extremely limited...... 2 out of the 3 pet stores here said wtf is that never heard of it..... And the other one was like "really eggs, hmmmmm I thought they had live young."

I'll try calling my vet but I dunno.......

Thanks.... I just need an idea on how to lower the humidity it the container with the eggs......

99% is to high I fear.

Incubator humidity reads 78........ I just can't find anything for humidity.... Chinese water dragons are closest to care but can't find humidity required for incubation on them either

80-90% for chinese water dragons is what my gf says, she is breeding them so I guess it's right

Yes thank you..... Alot of research has said that they are very similar to breed..... So my conditions are ideal for water dragons..... So I'm hoping for the best.
