    My first spider was purchased in 2002ish and i mortgaged the house to buy him. I have been working with spiders and spider combos for years and there is no truth at all about incubation temps and the wobble. As far as flucuatuon in the incubator its fine if they jump a coupke degrees north and south. As long as they dont spike and stay at extremes your fine. I have a walk in incubator that is heated by a space heater and i stay between 88 and 90 with an occasional rise to 91 and down to 87 but it never stays there. Sometimes through the heat cycling it flucuates. No big deal. Havent lost any eggs due to this system yet. Now i do know some breeders that have been tinkerin around with droping temps a couple degrees and incubating at 87 degrees and have found this keeps the snake in the egg a few days longer and the babies come out fatter and fully digested yolk sacks. Now im not in any way saying to do this but it is being done with success.
