One degree higher than 88 is not gonna deform any of the babies, I personally know that the eggs can be hatched at way higher temps than 90. I had a clutch last year that went way above the 89-92 range, I had a problem with my incubator last season, and when I noticed it and checked my eggs with a temp gun the lowest egg temperature was 93 and the highest egg temperature was 95 degrees, and it was a 12 egg clutch, well they all hatched out just fine, I was scared as crap that I would have deformed snakes but they were all 100%. So I know for a fact that they can get a few degrees high and still be fine. I also had several other clutches in my incubator at the same time and none of the other babies were deformed. I wouldn't try that again but nothing happend when my temps did get messed up. Thanks David



Here is that clutch... they hatched in 52 days
