    is one more over the heat than the other? Also, is one more shallow than the other? ( and therefore less substrate is inside?)

    Re: Incubation Temps

    I bet they cook pretty quick at this temp. How many days on average does it take for your clutches to hatch?

    I set my incubator to 89F with the probe outside of the box, and they normally hatch between 55 and 57 days.

    Yeah I set mine at 89F with the probe in the tub. They are all out by day 57.
