discolored eggs? help!

I searched the forum for a thread on this and couldn't find one. The issue I'm having is the eggs are a little grey on top and a nice white on bottom. They're also dimpled. This clutch is a week old. When I candle then they have veins, I'm just concerned about the color and the early dimpling.

The temperature is high 88-89° and the humidity is 80% my original incubator died so I had to switch it. The eggs heated up to about 90° and then it died. Humidity dropped to 40% when I found them the next day.

Any advice is appreciated.

I would put plastic wrap over the tub to keep humidity in.

I'm guessing that is hatchrite the eggs are in which is known to be too dry to start with and it dries out fairly quickly if the tub has too much ventilation, which pop top lidded tubs tend to have.

Last night I added more water in the corners of the tub. The humidity is at 82% you think plastic wrap is a good idea? Just nerve racking as another female is adjusting to lay

humidity needs to be between 85% and 95%, you're getting close

Alright, and as for the eggs? Do they look like they have slugged or chance of making it.

They're borderline. I think you've still got a good chance of them hatching once the humidity increases though.
