I wouldn't think that would be too hot. Just try to get it back down where you think it needs to be and hope for the best.

I actually think that your initial incubating temperatures were too low. A better range would be 30-31.5, even 32 is fine. Temperatures at the higher end of the range typically produce more females too. It would be best if you had a thermometer/hygrometer within the incubator constantly rather than occasionally checking it. That way you can monitor the temperature and humidity levels each time you look in. Also keep in mind that the temperature within the incubator will often change if the temperature within the room changes more than a few degrees.
