Hello,

I have leopard tortoise eggs in an incubator set at 87F. It is a little shy of being in the incubator for 3 months. I got home from work today and found the incubator off!! The surge protector was off...power must have went. The temp in the incuabtor was at 70 degrees. A 17 degree difference!!

I dont know how long it has been off. Im assuming 8 hours.
What does this mean? Are the eggs worthless? Will they still hatch? Will it affect there well being?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
-Jen
