I made my own incubator and now I am wondering what would be an acceptable range to keep my temp? One side of the bator is a degree or 2 cooler than the other side. I read that 97-101 is acceptable. I just want to make sure from someone who does this alot. The humidity I keep at 45% the first 18, then 65% til hatch? Thank Ya!

The only way it could get any better is if the eggs were under a hen. 98 will give you a late hatch. 101 will give you an early hatch. 103 for any lenght of time will cook the eggs.
 
I have a fairly decent electronic thermometer and thermostat in my box so MY acceptable range is between 99.5-99.9 with preference for 99.7. It will hold to that range nearly always once I have it loaded and it settles down.

But honestly anywhere between 99.0 and 100.5 is OK. Over or below and I'd try to tweak it.
