    Re: Incubation Temps

    Can someone temp gun some of the items in their incubator? And let me know how surface temps match up with air temps?

    I have my air temp at 89 (Helix says 89, backup Johnson actually says 90), but surface temps are 87-88.....any thoughts?

    i put the colder one closer to the heat tape, and yes the colder one is much smaller and way less substrate. i think im just gonna use the large ones no matter how big the clutch is.

    thats why. Smaller container, less substrate, means its going to be warmer overall.

    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.
