Hey,



It's a really good idea to share this sort of thing - even the heavier petshop books omit the numbers when it comes to making generalities about trends in these critters.



The one thing I'd adjust on your data set is the number of data points for each day. To give an accurate repeated-measures average (the value from re-measuring the same animals every so-often), you should re-include the same animals each time. It looks like some days on the graph have one data point, while others have two or three. If you include the same animals and the same number of them in each day's measurements, you'd probably get a tighter fit to a regression curve.



I don't think Excel can do it, but you might also group hatchlings based on incubation temp to see if there's much of an effect of temp on growth rate. Thanks for sharing!
