hmmm i have never taken nesting box temps if your female is happy she will lay in the box you provide. i tend to place mine up the warm end just of the heat mat sometimes with abit on. thats where they tend to lay but sometimes i do add another nest box if she seems unsettled. if i was going to measure temp i would be looking for around 80F/82F 26C/27c, but cooler is better than hotter if you think you might not get to your eggs right away.
