Thomas,
Have you tried it yourself? I have incubated
Annulata eggs, from the same parents, and same clutch, at 85
and 70. The 85 degree eggs were almost melanistic they were
so dark, yet the 70 degree eggs were bright reds with the black confined to the black bands. This has been mentioned in Brian Hubbs Mountain Kings pg.256 Mitch Mulks and Rick Staub have mentioned having the same results with their Mountain Kings.
I have also had personal communications with other breeders
that have had the same experience, i.e., Bob Macken, Jerry Kruse.
You might won't to back off the pannick button there Thomas.
