The Thermometer in the Incubator reads 99.5. The thermometer on the Magicfly is clearly broken it says 70F. My kids thermometer I've used for years and is pretty accurate (same I use in the hospital) reads L meaning to low to read - not good. So I tried my meat thermometer it reads 95. I bought a new thermometer from Imagitarium it also reads 95.

So if I've been incubating my eggs at 95 instead of 99.5.... How screwed am I? This is day 10! I'm increasing the temp as we speak.

Between the high humidity issues I've had and now the temperature, I'm afraid I'm going to loose them all! I'm going to candle in a little bit. I checked on day 6 and all but 8 showed growth, one was the red circle of death. The rest I could just see the egg sac and the shadow of the yolk. If they are still not showing development... At what point do I toss them?

Good Job!
Hopefully they will be fine. They may hatch a day or so late though
