Congratulations on those nice-looking eggs. I’d suggest backing off to a range of 89 to 90 degrees, shooting for 89 degrees. Your high end of 92 degrees might cause death or deformities. Regarding the small egg container – I’d open it up maybe once or twice a week to ensure adequate oxygen availability. But then, that shouldn’t be much of a burden for you, as I assume everyone is like me and likes to check on their eggs’ progress during incubation.

One final caution - I would suggest double-checking the accuracy of the thermometer in your photograph if at all possible.
