sorry no ~ that's too low (25.4*C = 77*F)
what type of incubator are you using? if a home-made one where have you placed the stat probe and the thermometer probe?

What is the minimum temp i can do then?

The inc is a homemade one, that has been used before, its just the room temps are unstable causing too much change, but it seems to have settled at 25.4

Yup as sleepy says its too cold, you need to bump up the temps.

What are you using to heat the incubator and does it have any holes in for warm air to escape
