With the heat index well over 100 on a daily basis, we added more ventilation to Cholo's house.

Wow that’s hot for sure

Do you use fans also?

Not usually but we normally have a good breeze every day. We give fresh water twice a day plus for the free rangers we have water at 5 different places in the yard so they're never far from a drink.

Well, Tuff appears to be a boy: popped the red shoulders yesterday, wattles appeared today.

I've decided. My incubator is being turned on tomorrow to run for 24 hours. I feel safer incubating these eggs myself. If the incubator does not work they will go to Perdita. I will probably let Perdita raise them after they hatch.

That’s what I would also do just to be safe.

Of course we need a photo of those glorious eggs

A nice breeze is a lovely thing, evenings here the breeze falls off, around 7, and then it’s just hot and humid.

For those who missed this, I now have a screen up in my office doorway teeheehee, I give them by tomorrow noon and they will have figured out how to get through
