    I have not. Recently though, i heard it recommended and it definitely sounds plausible. I am considering it with my next clutch.

    I've done it with all my clutches. However, I like to incubate at about 87.5 degrees.

    I do. I take them from their incubation tub and move them to one with damp paper towels as they crawl out of the eggs.

    After they hatch do you keep your incubator at 88-90 degrees? Or do you lower the temp a little?

    I'm scared they'll wrap around the incubator's heat coils

    I keep it at 89 degrees since there are other clutches incubating. After they shed they get their own bins in the baby rack.

    They're in a container with damp paper towels and a water bowl.
