For corns, incubation temperatures of 80-85 degrees are safe. Incubating at 70 degrees can result in normal hatchlings but is quite cool relative to normal incubation temperatures. Temps over 88 degrees are in the dangerous range - risk of spinal kinks developing,

Agree with above. Low-mid 80s seems to be ideal, but Corn eggs can incubate at lower temps although they will take longer.

The fatal danger point seems to be 90 degrees. Even a short time at 90 will kill most eggs.

Generally, Corn eggs are tolerant of lower than ideal temps (as long as there aren't dramatic fluctuations) but intolerant of higher than ideal temps.
