    Severe Temperature Fluctuation

    First of all, while I do appreciate that everyone wants to help out, I am only looking for input from people who have experienced this themselves, or know somebody that has experienced it. I don't really need any help with theories or possibilities, as I am aware of those. I've been breeding a few years, and asked other people who have bred for longer, and none of us are sure on this.

    I had two clutches drop within the last week that I was not expecting at all. I'm living in a new place temporarily, and there's a lot of temperature variation. The eggs today have gone between 84.6 to 93.1 degrees as I tried to maintain stable temperatures until I got my incubator up and running. They are now at 85 degrees and slowly warming up to 89.

    Has anyone experienced such a large fluctuation in new eggs and still had healthy babies emerge? They are within their first week of development, and they are candling with healthy veins, but that is all I know. I know when I have maternally incubated in the past, the eggs went between 85 and 89 degrees throughout incubation, and the babies were all very healthy. But the temperature changed over a course of days, not a matter of hours.

    Even if nobody knows right now, I will update this thread with what happens to them so that if anyone in the future is wondering, they can find the answer. I am hoping it's early enough in development that they will keep going and not produce deformed babies, or die before hatching.
