I knew from you past posts what your answer was going to be but I wanted to see. I agree and I have a feeling, hunch, un-educated guess that temperature fluctuation is a good thing. The first reason is that it happens in the wild. Second reason is that like a cold can or bottle of beer or warm ones. A cold object attracts moisture and a warm object unless saturation level is reached expels moisture so yes (my reasoning)as I view it as an egg breathing.

The reason I asked in the first place I had some reptile eggs that would mold every year, (wet dry it did not matter. Ultimately they would hatch. One year I accidentally left them in sphagnum moss for a week and wha-la no mold? So I pondered that in the wild they all have differing nesting habits and it is possible with the lack of (TRUE ACADEMICS) that these reptiles were utilizing a burrow with feces and customizing it to suit them.

Yes I agree if it works why mess with it I still like to know why it worked. I now use coconut husk with close to 100% success.
