Hi Jen,
Just turn it back on and keep incubating the eggs. They should be able to keep on developing as long as the temperature didn't get really cold. A researcher I know placed temperature recording devices in wild Radiated Tortoise nests in Madagascar and found that the average temperatures in those nests was only 72F, yet we incubate the Radiated eggs successfully at 89F in our incubators. If we incubate them at that low a temperature artificially they don't even seem to develop. I can't explain it, but that is what happens.

Anyway your eggs should be OK (if they were fertile to begin with). Were they fertile eggs or do you know?
