im incubating right now 4 eggs from my bell albino female, the 5th and 6th is on the way
im incubating in 30-31 dagrees CELSIUS, which is 86-88 dagreed Fahrenheit,
i need to get at least 1 male from those eggs cause they all gonna be het bell and i already have a bell female (the mom)
is this sounds good? i want to get also a few females, what are the odds for that to happend?

85 degrees is 50/50

I incubate or females 80-82 and the males 88-89. I really can't give you a % on 86-88 and be correct, especially with 4 eggs. You could incubate at 85 and get all male or all female with 50/50 odds. I've been at a roulette wheel in a casino where it landed on red 27 times in a row :) I would think with you incubating at 86-88 you would get your male but maybe not your female. Hopefully you will get more eggs and somehow incubate them at a lower temp to get the females you want. Good luck.

Over 30.5 C (87 F) will produce almost all males. If your temps are right at that mark you may have a chance of producing a female but incubating at 29.5 C (85 F)will give you a better chance at the mixture you want. Either way you'll have to wait until they're a bit older in order to visually sex them.
