okay, and for most colubrid incubations, that is usually fine.

But what if 85 degrees was for some weird reason, a tad too high for THIS particular snakes offspring to hatch without these deformities?

Now, if you started from scratch at say...75 to 76 as I stated on another post on this thread, you could really be onto something.

Iam just suggesting a scenario that would really help out in disproving a heat-related problem here.

I will honestly say though, that I personally do not like to incubate stuff getting into the mid 80's and above, just for this very reason. Of course it is absolutely fine for many, but so is a bit cooler, and less things can go wrong. A few extra days is plenty cool with me, if it prevents any possible mishaps..LOL!

Just food for thought.
