Incubation temps???

[del9800]

Hello all,

I have a question in regards to incubator temps. With Hognose breeding just around the corner I want to make sure I have everything set for incubation. I have made a incubator from a wine cooler, everything is set and ready to go. My question is.. Hognose eggs are incubated @80-84 degrees. Should ambient air and thermostat be set at around those temps or should the inside of the container be at those temps? I did a practice run for a couple days with thermostat set @83 degree but inside my S.I.M. container was at 79-81 degrees measured with a thermometer. I would appreciate your input from you experience breeders.

Thanks,
