I usually incubate parkeri eggs between 82.4 and 82.6F
The eggs should be setup in vermiculite with a 1.1 ratio of vermiculite to water. During the incubation process, approx. 100 days or so, the vermiculite should be kept moist to prevent dehydration of the eggs. Light condensation around the top and sides of the shoebox are a good indication that incubation conditions are correct.
Good luck - and if you hatch any, keep me in mind. I am always looking to add new animals to my existing group!
