Although I do not know you, I have seen hundreds of your post and would assume that you are very educated about Royal Pythons. The fact that you are using a hovabator to incubate BP eggs has me concerned. Have people used hovabators to incubate BP eggs, YES. Do they hold stable temps and humidity levels, NO. They are horrible. You would be better off using a rigged cooler with some heat tape, fan, water bowl and T-stat.



Regarding 84 degree egg temps... You should be fine, just don't spike them from 84 degrees to 90. Any changes should occur very slowly.
