Does anyone know if lighting can affect tortoise egg incubation? I have a large incubator that has always worked well. This year however, my eggs do not look chalked at all so a lot look bad. The only difference is now my large incubator has a light on for the hatchlings since I keep them in there as well in tubs. Any thoughts on this?

Many people have glass doored incubators, and I've incubated eggs inside tortoise enclosures with lights successfully, so I don't think it hurts anything.
