The humidity is fairly high. I'm not sure exactly, however. The vermiculite
was moist and there is water in the reservoir (hovabator incubator). Nothing
I ever read said that 80F was too high. (example - Rhacodactylus by Seippe
and Henkel) I've hatched other cresteds at that temperature with a night
drop without problems. Considering that, I didn't think temperature was the
problem.
My other clutches are incubating at 73 with a night drop, however.
