Closet incubating and temperature fluctuations panther eggs

I was planning to use my closet in one of my upstairs rooms for incubating my panther eggs. The plan was for the eggs to be in vermiculite or hatchrite in tupperware containers with a couple of pin holes in the lids. These would then be placed on the top shelf of a rarely used closet.

I recently took some temperature readings from this closet and at night it drops down to 73 degree, then during the hottest part of the day the temperature climbs to 79 degrees. This is in the exact same spot in the closet with the door closed for both, a probe digital thermometer was used. From what I have read these temperature are within the acceptable range for incubating panther eggs. The question refers to whether this fluctuation would be harmful to the eggs and eventually babies?

The shelf on which I keep my panther eggs varies at least this much (even colder in Winter at night). I've had 100% hatch rates.
