Yup, I agree with knobby,

I had to keep opening my incubator to top up the water and it didn't seem to bother them,

Good luck with the hatch (though you probably will not see it until tomorrow Wink )

OOooo! How exciting! Very Happy

Remember it can take up to 24 hours to hatch though! One of ours pipped early, but didn't hatch until the next day.
