They are "overnight/sat-delivery" sending the thermometers so I can finish. I have enough in place that I can rough-tune my male & female temps a little better. But I won't be satisfied until I know that I have even temps in all areas of both sections. :D

I will probably stack even more water-tubs to fill up all that airspace between the lower (male) section and the upper shelf (female) section.

Ruby started digging about 6 days ago. :O

5 minutes that day....skip a day...more digging.....skip a day and half...dig a little...then yesterday started a digging marathon...

I started a poll in the "Breeding" section so I can try to see if all females start digging 5+ days ahead of time.

Y'all are worrying way too much. I promise. Haha. You just need to relax. It will happen.

And about the incubation medium, just remember that geckos have been laying eggs and hatching in nature for years and years. There are no incubators, deli cups, glad ware, or Hatchrite in nature. You have a little breathing room

The poll will be interesting, but at the same time you have to remember that there are many factors that can alter the amount of time. Each Leo is different, just like us!! Their stress levels, personality, health, husbandry can all effect the timing of their actual digging, and laying. I have several females that all behave different. Some will go off food, and others just keep on eating during the last stages before laying. Some will dig excessively before laying. Others will be sneaky, and will dig, and lay all at one time. Some will be restless, and others will be just lazy, and sit in the lay box until time to lay. I always check the lay box first thing in the morning, and then right before I go to bed...that is it. Their lay boxes are all warm and moist, so if eggs are left for 10-12 hours, they are fine.

My lay box is a roughly 9" x 6" tupperware container. It is positioned half on and half off the hot spot so she can decide where to lay them. Temps stay around the 80's in the lay box, which is fine.
