    Re: Incubation Temps

    Im doing the poll to see what the general consensus says about what most people incubate their eggs at.

    I want to see if people have experimented with lower temperatures too, and what their results were. As ive heard that a slightly lower temp than 88 proves to give you more robust babies. But ive yet to have it proven to me. ( Ill find out one of these days)

    I heard a rumor, and ive yet to ask the person..."Personally", what their results were from incubating at those lower temperatures, so i tossed a poll up here, just to see what sort of responses i'd get.

    Re: Incubation Temps

    I set my herpstat to 89F. I do not measure my egg tubs. I also do not use a fan in my incubator.

    Re: Incubation Temps

    I go 88.5 to leave some room for warm up. Incubators heat up but dont cool down. I goofed and put 85.5 in the poll instead of 88.5, Duh
