Exalted Gecko · Posted: Tue Jun 05, 2007 11:35 pm Post subject: Incubation Duration

Hi all,

I'm wondering, my female leo laid her first eggs on 13/04/07 and I'm incubating at 79F. I reckoned it would take about 90 days at that temp, is that about right or am I wrong?

I based that estimate on info given in the updated leopard gecko manual.

This is my first time incubating for mostly females.

i don't think you will find that it takes as long as 90 days, i have been incubating all my Leos this year at 77F and i have found incubation duration pretty consistent around the 70 day mark. my guess would be that they will hatch around the 20th of this month (give or take a couple of days)

Cheers Ace, I was thinking it seemed a tad long! I'll aim for arrivals around the end of the month then Smile

Hi, my gecko laid eggs 14/05 and they have been in 84,2F (29C). How long it should take. My ques was about 49-55 days, does that sound right?
