I am getting close to having my first clutch drop.

At least I have a glow, and have palpated, so I have had a few firsts.

My incubator has been running with less than 1 degree variance.

My question is, how do I get the substrate to the right temp?

When my eggs drop, do I put the material in the incubator first and let it warm up to the right temp, then put the eggs in?

I bought a bag of Hatch-Rite, so all I have to do is open the bag.

Thanks in advance,
Bruce
