Giant to Super Giant breeding question

[pastelball]

So who has done this? The reason I ask is I am having a tuff time with the eggs. So far I have 1 egg hatch, 2 more should hatch anytime hopefully they hatch but I have 2 more that have deflated and 2 more that are not looking good. this is out of are giant female this is her 2nd yr. Last yr she laid infertile eggs. The male a Super Giant was breed to 2 females last yr they had a total of 18 eggs and they all hatched. Doing everything the same as last yr. Any input would be great.

I suppose it could just be the female still trying to figure out how to get the eggs right. I've heard of some females not producing until their third year.. I wish you the best of luck!!!

No Difference except female?

Doing everything the same as last yr.

Curious what all those are....Can you mean the outside air temp. is the same? The incubator and the thermometers (functioning condition), the amount of humidity in the lay box, are exactly the same? There are more. Please note I'm not trying to be a wise ass..... But there are factors beside the female that can still be a problem........This is a hobby project of mine...to not only breed and raise healthy geckos but shed some light on why so many people on this forum are getting bad, terminated eggs, and deformed babies..And just think of all the forum guests and large breeders we never hear about it from..It certainly takes some of the enjoyment away....Take care. / Hj
