put some water in deli cup and squeeze out the excess water. thats how i moist mine. like what acpart said, dont put holes on the lid so humidity would stay in the cup. you may want to purchase a thermohygrometer as well, this will measure the humidity and temp inside the deli cup. incubate it at 78F-82F for females, 83F-85F mixed, and 86F-90F for males.
