Average hatch out rate?

[gixxer3420]

Just wondering how many days everybody is getting their eggs to hatch out at?

I've incubated at 80,82,85, and 88 degrees and the average times are...

80 degrees = 61 days
82 degrees = 54 days
85 degrees = 40 days
88 degrees = 36 days

I incubate with Hovabators on Helix DBS-1000 Thermostates. Medium is perlite with an 0.8 parts water to 1 part perlite ratio.

Sweet thanks Mike. I'm incubating my eggs this year at 86 degrees and was just looking for an estimated time table. Your info helps me out a lot. thanks again for it. So I should be looking at somehwere in the 40 day range.

 

[eyelids]

No problem man. Yeah around 39-42 days. At that temperature you should get a pretty even sex ratio, but I'm sure you knew that...

Yup even ratio is what I was hoping for. I've been breeding leos for 5-6 years now and this is the first time that i decided to breed them at 86 for an even ratio. Probably back fire on me, i'll get some killer males and I'll end up kicking my self in the butt wanting them to be females. Oh well I can't wait to see what starts popping.

It's like you're reading my mind! I incubated my Mack Snow het Bell x Snake Eye Blizzard eggs at 85 (only had 1 inc. then) hoping for the best, but I've got what looks like 3.1 killer hets!

 

[gixxer3420]

Yeah it looks like we were thinking the same thing. I hope I have the sucess you have had so far. i hope you can produce an enigma, man that would be sweet. i want one of those in the worst way. Not sure if I can handle shelling out $1000+ for one but man they are my favorite morph.

 

[trizzypballr]

we get any info on what they actully are yet?

 

[okapi]

its still an enigma

Okay, Ive been incubating eggs since Dec 6th. I started them out at 81*F, and wednesday bumped it up to 83-84*F. I might go up to about 88*F within the next 7 days. Any idea on how long they will take? I think Ill have to build some more incubators... Now I have two AFT eggs. 84*F is fine for them, but I should be getting more leo eggs soon too and I dont want to get males (this season at least...) So I guess I should get one incubator that stays at 80-81* then have the one at 83-84* and then have another thats at 87-88*...
