I see your confusion. I check temps during the first couple days after putting the boxes in the incubator -- then leave them be. My large incubator consistently runs a degree cooler in the bottom-half. I am fine with box temps from 87-90.5. You just don't want to be too hot for too long.

I must assert that this is my FIRST breeding season. I TOTALLY RESPECT the experience and YEARS/DECADES of experience that Ralph, Robyn, Kevin, Brian, Greg -- the list could go on and on of breeders/keepers, both well-known and less-well known, who have loads of experience.

However, I also feel you don't have to have years/decades of experience to do something well -- quickly. If a person is half-way bright, a quick study, asks the right questions, and not so tentative to make a mistake that they become immobilized the learning-curve starts to slow down. Listen to EVERYONE with an opinion. Weigh everything you here. Think about it and move forward. You can always alter things a little bit along the way. I am A LONG WAY from having mastered all there is to know/experience about keeping Balls.
