Excellent info Rusty, thanks... sometime back I was reading a thread about how turtles regulated their body temp during the winter months by changing depth. From that I gathered that snakes would do the same thing. I guess they find a nice comfortable area where the avg temp is suitable for their eggs to hatch.

I just couldn't get it out of my head with all these postings that people were incubating their egg's at around 82degs. It just made more sense to me that the eggs would do better with somewhat lower temps than with a constant set temp of 82.

On your graph is that your own readings or even from your area? What area is that from?
