nighttime incubator temp

[ausash]

My daytime temperatures are right on the mark at 101.5 or extremely close like .3 or something like that. My problem is at night my temperature drops to around 99.8 and I don't know what to do about it. I have turned off the airvents in that room and tried wrapping a towel around the base of the incubator without covering the top of it and still that does not work. Does anyone have any clue as to what I could do, without having to physically change the incubator temperature control several times a day, to maintain a higher temperature at nighttime. (yes my dh does keep the house at arctic temperatures at night) Will this be detrimental to my hatching or just make them a little later?

Thanks.

I don't think that thats a problem its past 99.5 degrees.

It's between 105 degrees - 99.5

Thats fine. Don't let it get above 103 though! If you have a fan in there, 99.5 is ideal, if not 101.5 is ideal.

Oh no I never let it get about 101.5 just sometimes daytime is around 101.3 is what I meant. I have no fan in there which is why I am trying for 101.5 but nighttime it gets down to 99.6 or around there. So long as everyone thinks that will be okay I won't freak out too much. by the way will this delay hatching day at all?

Thanks.
