Ball Python Egg Incubation?
got a new incubator and the probes (that are in the vermiculite, in the egg box) aren't going over 85.2. they havent been in there long but i would figure long enough so it would heat up and change. the incubator itself is at 88-89.7. i am just worried that something is going to happen to the eggs. i know nature isn't (and doesn't have to be) exact.. but what is the window that is still safe for incubation temperatures.

yeah its in the egg box in the vermiculite. everything is okay now. everything reads 89-90 i was just wondering if the eggs being in 85 degree vermiculite for a little while (about an hour or two) was dangerous? like i said, im sure the answer to that is "no its not dangerous" but i just needed to reassure myself. haha

Trust me, eggs can deal with cooler temperatures better than they can over heating. I incubate my eggs at 86-87F so 85F stable is fine.
Re: Ball Python Egg Incubation?
For those who incubate at lower temperatures such as 86 - 87F, how many days usually until they hatch?
