Day 48 with temps (85-87)

[lindy]

how much longer until they will hatch or go bad?
started out around 85-85.6 for a week then went up to 86-87 since then(house temp went up no air conditioning)
So i was thinking today or tomorrow they would hatch, they are white I put a flash light on them thru the incubator and cant see pink anymore
There only normals but im excited to see babies

 

[clarkee_04]

are these your first hatchlings, its really exciting when the day comes

 

[lindy]

no but

its my second year first year didnt go so good.
female was fat and happy decided to breed her(put her with the male) after that she wouldnt eat except once a month or so slowly started to go down hill. ( I tried crickets,mealworms,supers,dubias she just didnt want to eat)

THen the worse came.
My husband didnt think the cat would get into the enclosure if he was gone a few hours(the lid sucked) well gecko parts all over the floor, the stinken cat didnt even eat them.
So I had three in the enclousure(the rest were in a cat proof enclousures) two i found without limbs one was breathing:main_no: and the other one I couldnt find however the tail was still in the enclosure . A couple days later I found her she had wounds from were the cat probably grabed her then seen the other gecko and dropped her on the floor so she hid under something.
So I wasnt mad at the cat or the husband just mad because the cat didnt eat them.

Anyways I moved again and now they are in a separate room with cat proof enclosure just in case. And hubby learned his lesson

Anyways, This is my two normals, the male is het for tremper and the female? I dont think she is het for anything.
First year breeding even though she is two and the male is 4-5 years old. I gave up on getting eggs from her because she was with the male for the last year. She couldnt be with the female group because she was picking on them. But she is with the male and they get along good. :main_yes:

the geckos of today are more mutts than anything and the snow could have been passed down a few generations ago or they were just a hidden gene ready to be unlocked

nice babies, congrats, im still wating for mines to hatch, they were incubated at 84 to 86 the first 3 weeks and then at 90, i think this is called tremper method, im currently at day 44 and still waiting! does anyone know how long did they take to hatch using this incubation method?

 

[lindy]

took 52 days for me

at 85-87 degrees, one took 52 the other too 49 days last year the same temp it took 47 days

snowish?

so will this little fellow turn yellow and black like the sibling? should i call it something besides a normal when i sell him/her. Is $20 fair for this little fellow when he gets a little older.
