So higher temps, such as bp egg temps they cannot tolerate very well. Even if you were able to incubate them at those temps, I wouldn't recommend it.
I tried lower temps last year ( mid 70s), and lost four clutches. I had a lot of babies die in the egg full term. I know guys that don't use a incubator, they just put the egg boxes on a shelf and leave them alone.
