Thanks for the reply, and that is a great idea. Having said that, would you say it is a necessary precaution considering incubation temps are at 87.5 degrees? Also, my method of incubation is rather unorthodox but effective: I use the cooler and aquarium heater setup, but I drill holes in the egg bins to allow the humidity from the water surrounding the egg bins to enter. I bought the extra large cooler from Canadian Tire .

Are these temperatures too hot? It is quite humid inside, but I was just going to soak a paper towel and place the eggs/hatchlings on that anyways.

Thanks again for all the replies. I greatly appreciate your input!
