Incubation takes 70-100 days
Temp needed inside is 84-87 degrees F
As long as your medium stays damp in the incubator I don't think you'll have a prob with humidity..100% sounds like too much anyway the eggs will take on too much water. Try and use latex/vinyl gloves as much as possible when handling eggs as they are VERY porus and can take in bacteria, oils, and ?? from your fingers
Read about more people using vermiculite vs. perlite but perlite should be fine, NOT wet,saturated puddling wet but damp wet ;-)bury eggs half deep cover with damp sphagmum moss. ...These two sites explain it a whole lot better than me!!:Melissa Kaplan's website on incubating eggs...and my favorite Akira Yamanouchi's ...click on the Reproduction box then link at the bottom to incubating. Much luck!
