I had an incubator that heats and cools. It had worked perfectly for a few years. One morning a few months back, I noticed that the incubator malfunctioned sometime during the night and when I read the temp, it was 110 degrees.
I did the obvious thing and removed the ambilobe eggs and tried to cool them down as quickly as possible. The containers, eggs and vermiculite was hot to my touch, so I know the temperature of 110 was pretty accurate.
Fortunately and miraculously, the eggs started to hatch a few days ago. I had 12 hatch out today alone and out of the clutch 30 of the 34 eggs have hatched already. The others look like they will hatch within a day or two....
I really didn't expect them to hatch at all, so this clutch is truly a miracle.
Sorry for the bad pic.
