Hey I'm have a bit of issues with my first bearded dragon clutch.
So I actually got these just over a week ago off a friend who has bred these countless times and this year can't be bothered keeping the eggs and offered them to me, and so when I got them all 21 where in 2 containers like the Pisces cricket containers with vermiculite and water. I put them straight into the incubator and have been checking on them pretty much every day, the temp is at about 31 and humidity in the incubator is only about 60-80 but they are in the containers with their lids on and there is ALWAYS condensation on the lids, so I figured they mustn't need spraying because it seems quite humid in the boxes.
My issues I'm having is that most of them have 1 dimple (I know it generally means needs more water) but they already seem so humid, so much that when I checked yesterday there was MOULD on the vermiculite! So I imediately made a fresh batch and put them in their new boxes.
So what do I do? It's too damp that's its moulding but not damp enough that they aren't swollen.
Also I noticed today one egg appears to be a bit blue... So I'm assuming it no good?
the only thing I can think of to fix my hydration issue is to have more frequent small sprays
any help would be greatly appreciated.
