room temp for incubators to be in...

[mamaboyd]

What should the room temperature be that the incubator is going to be in?? I have a spare room ( actually, the one where my computer is in), it's away from little sneaky kids fingers to get at, so I want to see what the temp stays at in it to see if it's suitable to keep the bator in it.

Thanks!!

I heard anywhere from 70-80 degrees. Make sure that sun cant shine on the incubtor and their are not drafts. I have a finished basement that I hatch my eggs in. It stays about 50-60 degrees and I have great hatch rates, and my temp stays the perfect 37.4 celsius.

Thanks minpingurl1! I'm going to put a thermometer in the room to keep track of the temp before I try incubating. I wish I could use our basement, but it's an old stone one with dirt floor and very creepy! We don't keep anything important down there except the water pump and I try to avoid it as much as possible, the house is over 150 yrs old.

Stable temps is what U need. A room that stayed on 65' instead of 65' all the way to 80' If a room varies in temps so will the incubator to a small degree. Unstable temps make the incubator work harder.
