"Incubation at moderate temperatures provided the best conditions for both embryonic and post-hatching development. The highest incubation temperatures were disruptive to development; eggs had high mortality, developmental rate was low, and hatchlings grew slowly. Changes in temperature during incubation increased the among-clutch variance in incubation length relative to that of constant temperature treatments."...

"Incubation temperatures over 30°C tend to produce low hatch rates and/or very weak hatchlings (De Vosjoli and Ferguson"...

"Colder-incubated eggs exhibited a longer incubation period, but produced larger faster-growing hatchlings. Incubation treatment also affected a chameleon's activity level and its unique foraging tactics. Cold-incubated animals were more sedentary, caught prey faster, and extended their tongues farther to reach prey than did their warm-incubated counterparts"...

Just some of the tricks of the trade.
I would never think of heating upward, (my bad, the sun is in the sky) silly thinking.
That is what thinking out of the box creates.
Nice!!!!
I would love to be a fly on the wall with all these research projects.. Thanks
Watched the video late- lol Should have started with that.. ha ha Great job!
MOLD! ----I did have mold start creeping to good eggs, but was able to clean off before any damage was done.
Good reason to keep them apart too.
Thanks for video- you should have done it 20 years ago with my Bearded pygmy eggs--- They all hatched but the lesson would have been great.

In the ground, I expect the heat is more even and the eggs don't really know where the sun is 'cause it's dark in the hole. Doing it the way I did worked for e dry egg I tried it with so I didn't change it. I hatched lots of species of eggs that way too..so that also made feel it was ok. I did raise the egg containers up with the wood and screen form for a reason though...I originally sat the egg containers right on the heating pad.
You said..."Watched the video late- lol Should have started with that.. ha ha Great job!"...glad you liked it.

You said..."Thanks for video- you should have done it 20 years ago with my Bearded pygmy eggs--- They all hatched but the lesson would have been great."...there's always something we wished we'd known sooner!
@Jairo1234 sorry for hijacking your thread for a bit....but maybe it helped!
