Incubation in U. milii

[malt_geckos]

I was just curious if milii are temp sexed?

What temperatures are they to be incubated at?

Thanks!

So far, most of the Aussie geckos are not TSD (temperature sex determined), but as many questions as I have asked from more experienced . I incubate my U. milii eggs in my female (81-82 degree) incubator because anything higher than that can cause embryo mortality. I have bee told that U. milli tend to be 'female heavy' in their clutches by nature.

Thanks Marcia! Will write this down somewhere.


BTW- our little girl is eating. I have a water dish in with her, will she drink from that or only from mist on the tank?

Um... about the water thing... It depends. I thought my milii never touched their waterbowl... untill i was mistin one night and they went to the water bowl and drank... I'm not sure what it meant. So basicly I mist everyother day and have a constant supply of water. I cant be up with them all night to find out what they prefer but its been working so far!

I have a couple of milii i have actually seen drink from their waterbowl whilst some i have not seen drink at all and can only assume they drink from the misting. Suggest you maintain the drinking bowl and mist every 2-3 days

I mist and have the bowl so which ever way she prefers she will have water.
