Hilde dear,
I'd really like to hear more about this Profile stuff. Thought I'd make the
suggestion of using a humidity meter too, in the remote chance you're not
already using one.
I also would definitely steer clear of peat moss. It's acid, and it also
has tannin. Very bad for eggs which have a permeable shell.
At the risk of dating myself, back 25 years ago when I was keeping snakes, I
read that the best way to incubate snake eggs is to use a plastic shoebox
and damp paper towels. It was 100% successful. Had to watch out for
overwatering and mold, though.
Good luck with your babies!
