When I posted my questions about incubating, someone made the very good point that it's not the air that matters quite as much as the vermaculite/incubation medium does. So, I kept my thermometer probes buried in the vermaculite I used to incubate. You'll notice considerably less fluctuation aaaand you'll know what the eggs are actually incubating at. The thermometer that came with the incubator usually read my air temperature at 90 or so but my eggs were a couple degrees cooler.

Just somethin to think about I've only had the one clutch, so anyone with more experience with these things is more than welcome to jump in!
