>>>Thomas,
Have you tried it yourself?

why yes i have phil, ive tried all manner of ways over the years.

>>>I have incubated
Annulata eggs, from the same parents, and same clutch, at 85
and 70.

WOW 2 clutches huh? or is it just 1 clutch you divided either way thats an awful small base?huh?

>>>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.

i would imagine your 85batch had some kinkers in there too huh? annulata dont tip out like other triangulum, crossovers can be common. id say repeat that proccess a few more times (like100 or more) then come tell the forum lower temps will give cleaner looking babies. lower temps are better but its not that easy to have clean bright colors. that would be genetic and have absolutely nothing to do with incu temps.

>>>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.

WOW lets throw names around to justify our own opinion, from a hands on example of 2 WHOLE clutches, roflmao...

>>>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.
-Phil

no pannick button here phil and im glad you feel like you do, i will say i dont agree and that i have hatched a few more than 2 clutches over my 25years of keeping and breeding lampropeltis, cooler is better for incu, i am glad you have grasped that phil. but cooler temps do not make reds brighter and reduce black tipping or crossovers, that my friend is at best wishful thinking and worst an outright LIE.
