I went out and bought a temp/humidity gage from
Petco. I set some expensive eggs in my little giant incubator.
They started to develope but in a two week window they died one by one.
The temp gage read 99.5 humidity 60 percent.
So I bought the little giant thermometer and put it in just to see what it read.
To my horror it was reading 103.9 so I killed the batch on this other stupid reptile temp and humidity gage.
But my point is weird how at this temp they managed to still develope to between 7 to even 12 days.
I thought they couldn't last even a hour at that temp?

I'm so sorry.

This is why it's good to calibrate your thermometers and hydrometers.
 
Not only is calibrating a good idea, but having two or three small thermometers in your bator at one time gives you a little more confidence that your temps are in the range they need to be. Sorry you lost your chickies.
