Worries about temp

My mom came into my room to check on Isis' eggs while I was at work and accidentally turned off the switch that connects to the plugs that the heating pads were attached to, which made the temp shoot down to 74! :(
Is there still any hope for the eggs!???
 
They should be alright. Just warm them back up slowly over a period of time. I have my eggs in a room that gets down to around 74 in the evening and gradually warms up to around 85 in the afternoon. :)
 
I wouldn't worry about it, when I incubated my eggs I had the worst method, and the temp dropped into the low 70's a couple times for quite awhile (power outage in the middle of the night, and the bulb heating them blew and wasn't discovered until the evening). All 9 eggs hatched :)
 
Oh, that's so good to hear!
And I did let my mom know not to play with that switch anymore, because she also left a chameleon, a baby ball python and a baby red tail boa with no heat! :O
Luckily not all the animals' heat sources are connected to the same switch!
 
They seem OK with lower temps than they do with higher ones. Should be OK.
