most commercial and or home made incubators can be approx 2 degrees off in either direction, I would use 89-90 degrees to hopefully compensate for this phenomenon. They even tell you most of the time, under accuracy rating "plus / minus 2 " is usually the rating on most I have seen. Most also do not have ample means of humidity control that is necessary to properly incubate reptile eggs, which also needs to be compensated for. I prefer maternal incubation for Burmese & Reticulated Pythons, plus it's more interesting to witness the females behavior then merely peeking into an incubator. Both these species are usually extrememly attentive/good mothers.
