changing temps

[redsman]

I was just wondering after you incubate leo eggs to get the dsired sex can you move the temps up higher to 90 to speed up the incubation time

 

[Sturt]

Its generally better if the temperatures remain constant. Sorry, you'll just have to be patient!

Actually, think you can. I don't know how high the risk is though =/

Q) If low temps produce dark colored albinos how can I produce light colored albino females?

A) Sex in leopard geckos is determined within the first 3 weeks of incubation. So if you let albino eggs experience 78-83F for 22 days that will lock in the female sex and then you merely move those female eggs to a constant 90F for the remainder of incubation to get the best looking possible female offspring.

There you go.

I have tried this incubation method with many disappointments. I know i will not be testing it out again, ever. Patients is a virtue

It is risky. Just be patient and leave it were it is.
