I strive for an 80% humidity rate and I usually incubate my eggs at 84 degrees. Common knowledge is you will get males at around 82 and females at 89. I have avoided incubating at higher temps because of side effects such as scute abnormalities and even had a redfoot hatch with just one eye. Bye the way I have kept her and she is awesome and my vet said the eye problem is definately not hereditary and she will make a great breeder. Good luck-- If all goes will you will have babies hatching out anywhere between day 120-180 or so......later Richard
