Details i have documented about Incubation temps.
There are a number of factors to take into account and these are written as a guide from the average time it has taken me to hatch leos over the years.
With out a thermometer your bator will not be accurate.
With out a fan your bator will have hot spots.
With a fan it might fluctuate in temperature depending on the quality of thermostat. Your reading needs to be inside the tub with the eggs not just hanging around in the bator.
... 26/78 up to 12 weeks all female, low success rate.
26.5/80 up to 10 weeks female, good success rate.
28/82 around 8 weeks mostly female perfect success rate.
30/85 around 7 weeks mixed but slightly more male. excellent success rate.
31/88 under 6 weeks mostly males perfect success rate.
32/90 under 5 1/2 weeks all males low success rate.
34/92 under 5 weeks terrible success rate, you might as well cook them on your heat mat. Females hatching at these temps can be aggressive and some time infertile.
Incubation times did vary over the years with different incubators but no more than 7 days over and and 5 days under.
