They do of course have heat during the day still; I primarily worry about the
hatchlings. I left some in the incubator and some set up normally in my room with a
timed strip of heat tape (all hatchlings on paper towels now; ya'll convinced me).
I'm waiting to see if there is a significant difference in how the two groups do
(though I admit 5 gex total doesn't make a significant amount for an experiment!)
Also, what do you recommend as night range temps during the summer?
Thanks!
