In 2008,
*My hatch ratios were 1.1
*Temps never went below 70 and never above 84,
*avg 82 daytime ambient, 70 night
*all fertile eggs hatched except one which died at 4 weeks
In 2009,
*Hatch ratios were a little better than 1.2
*temps never went below 70 but spiked in July into upper 80's(yikes!)
*Avg 85 daytime ambient, 72 night
*All fertile eggs hatched except one male which died at 6 weeks
* No significant complications due to temp spike. One clutch all hatched and out of egg by day 39. All normal size and weight. Guessing metabolism sped it along.
*2 of the clutches had ratios of 2.8 and 1.6.
Please note: I had different facilities in each year.
