I incubate mine at 80 degrees. If my incubator fluxuates slightly I let it do so just under 80 rather than over. Last year 18 of 19 hatched and I dont remember the exact number but all hatched the year before at that temp. A few years ago I used to incubate at 82 but people have been finding that colubrid eggs incubated a little cooler usually end up hatching out a little stronger and often you will get a higher hatch ratio at slightly cooler incubating temps.
Here is a blue of mine with her clutch of 21 from this year that are now in the incubator. Later, Randy Whittington
