Another problem is that there is no more room for the 3 to 4 clutches that are not yet laid. So I killed the hot spots for all the animals in the hatchling/incubator room (some sub-adults in there as well), and just raised the entire room to 88F. The RayTek gives me readings of around 87F where I will have the egg boxes in the room, so I should be ok. Normally the room was about 84F.

I will be producing about 4 times more than any other year this year... it certainly won't be boring in this house for the next little while! :S

Thanks for the reply!

Sounds like you need a bigger incubator!! I'm using the closet plus I have a full size closet incubator as a standby. You can never have enough incubator space! Good luck!
