First hatchling of season - WARNING - crappy cell phone pics.

[Franks_Geckos]

Here is our first hatchling..... after 65 whole days of incubation...which by the way is a new record for me..... It is a Mack Snow poss. het Tremper from my Mack Snow Tremper project. I am away for work and had my wife take pics of this historically long overdue baby on her cell phone and send it to me in Puerto Rico.

Now that's a sharp gecko:main_thumbsup:

Very cool Frank, but what was the temp?

congats Frank!

 

[Franks_Geckos]

Thanks....
Paul, Temp was between 78 and 79 for the most part.... I have since increased to 80-81... to get em' hatching a bit faster...

My females at 79-80 are going 65-69 days.

It's bizarre.... I never had them take this long... it is making me think that my incubator was higher temp than the probe read for the last few years... and it probably explains why I had around 50% males or so when the majority of my geckos used to hatch around 45-48 days. Of course, this is the first year I have had my Helix on the Hovabators for low temps as well as for higher incubation temps....... hmmmmmmmmmmm

 

[paulnj]

sounds like you were in the 84 range with those times. Rest assured that is a female
