>>"we don't use incubators for colubrids........but I heat the room..."
Are you saying your AC went out and your place got to 90?
>>Or are you saying your using a heating device on the eggs that went out? DO you have a basement?Please read my advice from your other post 3 days ago tittled EGG SALAD.Im thinking 90 degrees for a few hours won't hurt them but 70 - 80 degrees are far safer when mistakes are made.
>>Good Luck and show us some pics please

Ok I made world class rookie mistake. I had an incubator set up with a heating element thermosatical controlled. The power for at least my city block was out for a couple of hours and when it came back on my wife thought that thermosate was fried -it wasnt responding for her. So she plugged the heating element directly into the wall socket. I checked the digital read out and it appears temp went up to 90/91?-not sure how long for. So i fiddled around with the thermostate device and got it working -rite now I have it at 80 degrees. I am testing out the temp in my upstairs bedroom closet to see if it holds steady in the 70-80 degree range if so is it too late to take them out of styro/incubator set up and place them into a small sweater box type holder and let them stay in the closet with no heat source. Basically I already had things set up befor I got the reply posts-- never had eggs before and panicked/over excited and didnt want to loose them. So if I can salvage anything I'll keep you posted.
