What effect does temperature have on TC? Is there a min/max range recommended? What about temperature fluctuations?
Reason I'm asking is because I managed to kill off the last surviving of my 1st attempt cultures over night... I had the cultures stored in my reptile room that had an ambient temperature that fluctuated from 22C at night and during inclement weather to around 30C during sunny days. We had some cool weather for the last couple of days so temperatures averaged around 23C. Last night I added a new heater to the room for the reptiles and coming winter. Room ambient increased to average 28C. This morning my culture was brown, dead and gone while it was still looking good last night...
