Leo Eggs!!!

[Odiferus]

I got my very first two leopard gecko eggs today!! My super hypo tangerine male and one way hy yellow female. The eggs appear to be fertile and are on incubation at 80.6f. Wish me luck on the hatchlings.

good luck hope they turn out! Home built incubator?

Best of luck! I'm going to miss out on most of this season myself. All my "girls" turned out to be male from last year :)

Odiferus- Congrats and good luck.

What temp did you incubate them at???

Congrats on the eggs. It's always fun to speculate what's going to hatch out.

Slannesh, sorry about the gender mess, I'm familiar with that too, but in reverse. I've had 8 blizzards which all turned out to be female instead of 3.5
Kind of messes up the breeding plans a bit, huh? :)

[reptiguy123]

YES it does!

[Slannesh]

I didn't hatch them :) Bought them as Incubated for female.

No big deal though... just means I have to get more Geckos :) Spring shows are coming!

Yay! Spring shows road trip wohooooo! congratz on the eggs pics when they hatch :)

Congrats on the eggs! Just a thought... give yourself a little "fudge factor" on the thermo incase it's not exactly....ahhhh...accurate. Hate to see you lose the eggs because the thermo was reading too high. Perhaps a nudge up to 82F?:) Dragndrop- i keep offering you a second male blizzard, nice fellow... if he rattles that tail much more- his brains will be scrambled!:D

Thanks for all the input. The eggs are in a home made incubator now (at 81.6 at this exact second), but my Hovabator is due here today!! I read in one article that it could take up to 100 days to incubate females at the lower temp....input???

The longest I've had a leo egg go and still hatch was 97 days. Naturally it ended up being female. She's also one of the biggest babies I've had hatch (almost exactly 4 inches long), and at the ripe old age of 3 years, she's 10 inches long, weighs just over 100 grams pre-breeding weight. Judging by this one example, it wasn't detrimental at all to hatch late. I don't have the exact incubation temperature since I let it fluctuate a few degrees between day and night, but it must have averaged around 80-82 F
