Me again- the shelf I usually put eggs on ranges between 80-84 degrees-although with the current heat wave, it rarely goes below 82, but not over 85. Just wondering if that should work ok.
Thanks.

I incubated Pacific Gopher eggs (Oregon stock) at a temperature averaging between 78-82 degrees F; they hatched in roughly 57-59 days.

Is that 20 from one female or from several females? Either way, best of luck w/ the incubation.

One female, all one clutch. She's almost 5.5 feet long and has been captive for almost 6 years. She is very heavy bodied, eating 120 gram(mediums) rats (f/t) quite easily.
