Got some good info on incubation for these
Preference is a “Hovabator Incubator” set at 86f with 1degree variance/humidity @60%-70%, using 2” deep of “Hatch rite” or “Vermiculite”. My experience has shown that incubating eggs with my Leopard and Fat Tail Geckos eggs at 86f for equal sexes works the best, only never along the temperature to reach 90f or eggs will die; 85f to 86f is perfect. Glass thermometer inside incubator with digital probe embedded in egg medium reading 85f – 86f is perfect allowing eggs to hatch 60 to 90 days depending on species. Humidity control of incubator is done by adding h2o to water trough in the plastic insert in bottom of Hovabator only, using small humidity gauge inside Hovabator works best. Open egg containers once a week for fresh air exchange and to check medium for dryness-if so add small amount of water is corners without touching eggs." tony |
