Incubator shut off, I'm so upset!
So I've got to say that I'm pretty upset and stressed today. I've got a clutch of eggs incubating at 90 degrees F, on day 51. Last night the power went out for roughly 12 hours and the incubator dropped down to 75 degrees F.
I am pretty sure that the snakes will be fine, but I'm still worried. The next week is going to be very long!

Im sure they will b fine. What most breeders tend to forget is that snake breed in the wild perfectly fine. And in the wild temperatures fluctuate all the time, this is nature. Its a given that this is a big drop and for quite a while. But as long as you get them back to normal. With a bit of luck u should b okay. Fingers crossed for you!

Thats exactly what I've been telling myself, "In the wild it gets freakishly cold sometimes, and the eggs are fine". Still, I can't help but be a bit worried.

I did, and if there was any it was too slight to see. I'm going to try again later when they are warm, they could just be lethargic due to the cold (hopefully).
I'll update later this evening

Dang that sucks! I'm so sorry that happened, keep us updated on them. I think they should be okay you should have some tough little hatchlings when they come out.

Falling to room temp for less than a day at day 51 should be fine. It may extend the incubation bay a day or so.

Saying that sux would be an understatement, but as others have said I think it will be ok, just add a day or two to the expected hatch date. Fingers crossed for ya.
Where are we going, and why am I in this handbasket?
Never argue with idiots. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with their experience.
Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.

Yeah they should be okay. If you were planning to cut on 55 I would wait another day or three.
