Hello all!
I had a mishap with my incubator - stable temps between 88-89 and yesterday (day 53) I woke up and found the incubator temp at 78.8. Couldn’t have been longer than about 8hours as I had checked before going to bed and it read 88.3.
I couldn’t sort out the issue but eventually swapped out the thermostat for the new one I had set up for the hatchling rack. Got everything sorted and temps have been stable again since - so likely about 10 hours of a temp around 78/79 (guessing time as whatever happened happened overnight but I checked in on the clutch late the night prior).
My question, as I am obviously worried and quite upset, (we had the incubator set up and running as a trial run 3 weeks prior to eggs with no issues) this late into the incubation period, is this going to negatively affect this clutch? Not much I can do now obviously, but would love any insight if I should expect any issues.
Thank you in advance.
