I'm not afraid to admit it, so I disagree with your post. Show me the studies on your post with the too low temps and the too high temps that are not in the 88-91 degree range. I incubate my eggs around 90* F but that temp isn't written in stone. it works for me. I know breeders that incubated just below 86* with great results and he has over 1000 snakes not including his yearly hatchlings and over 35 years breeding snakes, plus studies done that was published by VPI with incubation done far from the 89-91 range and with a high hatch rate.
