Is the bootom isolated from the top? or does it used to provide moisture?
What did you use to seal the cord going into the heater? Can the heater be accessed to adjust temps?
The bottom is sealed from the top.
The temp. is set at 75, thats what I set it at to hatch panther eggs.
You can use a temp. controller to have a cool down period.
All 54 eggs hatched in 8 months @ 75 deg. f.
