This is my second year breeding.... I have completely forgotten the best temperature for incubating eggs. I was about to go to bed when I glanced at my female and she has already laid 6 eggs.... I thought I still had a few weeks before she would lay, so obviously I was not ready. I had to run to wal-mart very quickly to pick up perlite (that's what I used last year). I hate that I wasn't ready, but I am not wanting to lose any eggs. I am hoping someone is up this late to help. What is the best Temperature? I am thinking 82 degrees but I want to be sure. Thank you so much!

Mice! They taste so nice!
I set my incubater at 80, as an unusual (for the UK!) heatwave meant I lost most of my clutches a few years ago. It gives me a litle more wriggle room just in case.

If she does this midnight laying thing again, we are NOT staying up with her...it's not like we can help her "deliver" or anything...however, 16 solid and pretty white eggs as of this morning...we'll see if she was done or not when I get home from work (and go to sleep)
