Is there condensation inside the egg box, too? Because that could become a problem. I would also keep the temperature between 27 and 29.
Good luck!

I'd say use a lot less water (only 2 centimeters or so in the bottom of the tank). What are you putting the eggs on? Vermiculite, perlite, or something else?

 

[anokas]

just vermiculite

If the condensation is in the egg box, you should drill some more holes into the outside box. Just a few more for better air flow. What type of device are you using to heat it?

 

[anokas]

For the heating I'm using a 100 watt aquarium thermostat..
The condensation is mostly outside the egg box, but there's also some on the top of the egg box, and it's dripping, not much but it is, so maybe if i drill a few more holes into the outside box, that problem will be fixed, at least I'll give it a try.
Thanks for the tip!

another thing...do you usually drill holes on the top of the egg box or on the sides of the box?
