    Like Raul, Mike and I went for the 88 degree range so that if there was an slight spike upwards it wouldn't put the eggs at over 90 degrees. Seemed to work, we had a 100% hatch rate last year (granted it was only 3 clutches but for a first year with eggs, we were pleased). :)

    Where have you placed the probe?

    I placed my probe IN the eggbox, buried in the perlite ( ill be using perlite again this year) During my testing for this years setup.

    my prob hangs in the middle between the two egg boxes. the box that is perfect 88.5 is like 17 qt and the 86.6 tub is 7 qt both set up the same way and sitting next to each other.

    is one more over the heat than the other? Also, is one more shallow than the other? ( and therefore less substrate is inside?)

    91F with probe outside the egg box. Perfect.
