Lightbulbs tend to be too drying and it’s a constant battle to keep the humidity right. Light also penetrates the eggshells and stresses out the embryos. In nature those eggs would be buried and the embryos would develop in darkness. Embryos exposed to too much light often develop irregular heartbeats and that can be fatal.
