Incubation temperature spiked

[diamondbp]

Hey all, My second batch of sulcatas started to hatch(five so far) but its been a week since anymore have hatched (13 remaining). I'm only worried because my son accidentally increased the temp to 101 degrees for a day(at most two days) about a week ago and I immediately lowered it back down to 82 degrees when I noticed.
Since then none have hatched and althought the eggs still look fine I'm worried that that temperature may have harmed the soon to be born babies. I have read that extreme temperatures are ok for short periods of time but I was unsure if 101 degrees is beyond the "OK" mark. I would imagine in the super hot African sun the ground can still get very hot. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated. Thanks

I don't know about tortoise eggs, but I had an incubator full of box turtles bump up to 120 overnight (a kitten was playing around it and I guess it turned the little handle.) I don't know how long it was that temp - no more than 12 hours for sure, but everyone hatched just fine. Hope that was helpful!

Honestly they should be fine, especially if they are hatching!

Yeah your good.I had a spike up to 98 2 days ago and it made them pip actually. 19 of the 32 from that clutch said "its hot in here I'm coming out" lol. They're fine.

Thanks everyone. I have one hatching today which is a sigh of relief. It's been 9 days since the last one had hatched so I was getting worried. Ill update as they hatch.
