highest and lowest temp for the hot spot

[lindy]

so i have been surfing this forum for the lowest and hightest temp for the hot spot and i have found that it went from 86-97 degrees.

I was trying to figure out a way that i can hatch some chicken eggs which take a month to hatch. at 100 degrees

So 100 degrees is too warm for the geckos so i was thinking of puting my newly done rack at 86 degrees for the hot spot so i can also hatch out my gecko eggs in the same rack. and put the chicken eggs in my incubator

does this sound like a good idea? It seems like 86 is a bit low but that is why i decided to ask this question.

thanks in advance

My hot side is at 91-93

I think 86 is too low. Most people say around 90-97 for hot side. I have found that mine do good at 95ish.

Oh and i bagsy the first half chicken half leo baby

ive never heard people put it that high on the hot side... and ive read the low side can go as lose as 85 but high 80s and low 90s is best

There are several people here on the forum, including myself (mine tends to middle out around 95F but I've seen it go up to 97F, not a big deal) that keep them like that. I've had no issues, just healthy geckos. but there is a lot of debate and really it comes down to what you think is best for your animal.

I try to keep mine around 95. Definitely no more than 97 for me.
