while waiting for my incubator to show up, i whipped together a hommade icubator. it is at about 95.5. i know it needs to be 99.5, but what happens if its not? im just afraid that if i lower the heat lamp any it will spike the temp way to high (while i was regulating it it was over 120! should i try to warm it up a wee bit or just leave it?
