    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

My hypo okatee just laid her first clutch last week. I have the eggs in an incubator with vermiculite and a little spahgnum moss on top. The temperature fluctuates between 82.5 and 83.3 degrees. Humidity in the incubator varies between 80-90%. I have read the books regarding temperature and humidity, but I am still not clear on what is the optimal humidity level and what are the signs of too much humidity? Any help will be appreciated.

By no means the expert but one way you can tell is by looking at the eggs....too low of a humidity level and the eggs will dimple inward, too high and the eggs swell up tight...Your temps and humidity are right on the money, and there are a wide range of thoughts and idea's on what are the best temps/humidity, some breeders keep their inc's as close to one temp/humidity, others simulate outdoor temperatures and humidity fluctuations...it's all good...Enjoy the babies!...peace, Chris
