Well i have wood turtle eggs in the incubator and have had them set at approx. 83.5 degrees now for about 2 weeks. I came home from work today and found the incubator temp at 93 DEGREES !!!! Now it could only have been that for a short period of time cause i check on it every morning before work and when i come home so it must have had a short circiut or something while i was at work today I have them in another incubator now at the original 83.5 can anyone tell me if this will kill them?? I have cooked snapping turtle eggs before cause the probe fell out of the incubator when i closed it and the temp shot up over 100!! The wood eggs still look fine all nice and pink but i still maybe need to be reassured they are ok....(or not) anyone experience this before???? thanks

mike
