egg question

What should the humidity level be for incubating veiled chameleon eggs?

I don't measure the humidity. I use the coarse grade of vermiculite and add enough water that when you take a handful of it you can only squeeze a drop or two of water out of it. I put two tiny holes in the lid of the shoebox sized container and lay the eggs in dents in the vermiculite and put the lid on.

Once its set up to incubate, the sides of the container and the lid will have beads of moisture on them. I incubate them at about 74F.

What if im using hatchrite? I just recently aquired a hovabator and the directions state that no water is needed if using hatchrite which confuses me because i know humidity is important when incubating eggs.

I wish I could tell you but I've never used hatchrite. I've been using the vermiculite for years and years...and I always go by the old saying..."if it ain't broke....don't fix it".

gotcha im just worried that i might screw up with the vermiculite that i have. I was wondering if i should put water in the plastic canals it came with.
