Yes, thats a difference. I was talking about 28° constantly. I can imagibne that it may work with a night drop. I just never tried that for two reasons: For some other rainforest species I know that eggs tend to be sensitive against temp variations (also temp stays quite constant already a few inch underneath teh surface in many rainforest liek habitats). But I admit that the most promonent reason ios convenience. I do not have a herp business, its just a hobby which has to comepte with family and job. So I do only have two incubators which are normally running at 28° constantly or 31° constantrly (for Uromastyx). o all eggs which need other conditions, I just place at a spot within my herp room at the most convenient temperature. This of course is not fully controlled and subjected to larger day/night changes. And thats how I incubated my rainforest agama eggs most succesfully: In the less warm regions of the room with average DTH in the 23-25° range.
