Different gecko's do require different humidity levels, but i presume from your signature you are talking about Leopard gecko's, the norm here is to just mix the incubation medium (vermiculite/perlite) with equal parts to water by weight, and that will keep leo eggs at a suitable humidity level to hatch them. Very Happy

I dont use a hygrometer so wouldnt know what the level is in mine, i would imagine near 100% though, but if you think the incubation medium was mixed around 50/50 with water they will be ok.
