sorry if thats not how to spell your name. i got the email back from Tremper about how he does his method of incubation and here it is:

Hi
I move them all at once.
I have not noticed any deformities. Never.
Many beginners frequent the chat rooms for various reasons.
Beginners can often have nutritional or incubation errors
that make embryos die along the way.
I have never heard of an advanced breeder making this claim.
Regards,
Ron Tremper

As for what Tremper said...

Does seem a bit odd. I would think that moving the temps so drastically woold cause the embryo to go into shock or something along those lines.

There have been some people here (like Robin) who have tried the method and said they had their worst hatch rate ever.

I know that my two little deformed ones this year were from temp and humidity problems.

Ah well. Sometimes what works for one doesn't work for all, but it was interesting to read the reply. Thanks for posting it =3

as soon as i get another incubator, im going to try it exactly how it's described on his site. 2 weeks at 82, then right into 90. if he honestly has never had any deformities, there must be something that the people who do get deformities are doing differently then him. i don't see any reason why he would want to lie either, so i believe him.
