Well, that makes me feel better. Keeping the temps at an even 80 F is nigh impossible, but have managed to range from 78 F to 84 F, mostly 79.5 to 80.5 F. Heat waves are challenging, but my trusty frozen gel packs keep things from getting too hot. I'd like to have one of those reptile incubators that do both cool and warm, but have heard they don't always work so great. My system has one major flaw; I must be home to deal with it. Since I am retired that is not too inconvenient, and my partner knows how to deal with the gel packs if I do have to be out for awhile. The stubborn little eggs have not hatched yet. Argh!!!!
