incubator fluctiation temp

[Tommy13b]

At how many degrees do eggs start to die/deform because of fluctuations +/ -, mines not too bad it stays 84.3-84.5, but im just curious.

Wow .2 HA! My damn incubator is 2. have to probes on opposing sides and one says 81.1 and other says 84.

I had a severe deformity in a dead hatchling recently, and my fluctuations were about 4 degrees. So i'm going with anything over 4 degrees is probably pushing your luck.

I've done fine with about a 2 degree fluctuation.

I set mine for 2 deg offset just to keep if from going on and off nonstop, I had a few minor tail kinks thats is about it. maybe I should kick it up to 1 just to see if everything turns out perfect . I put a probe in the perlite with the eggs a few times just to double check, and it did not move from 81.3 for the times i checked on it. a cordless usb temp data logger would probably be more accurate. I will have to get one, one of these days. I never thought I would have needed one untill I found out they existed.
