Incubation lengths

I am actually working out a theory of mine with incubation lengths just cause a pattern has came about in my breeding documentation. I am sure that it is nothing more then a coincidence but just want to check. I am wondering if anyone who has bred and hatched out Mack Snows, Tremper Albinos, or a combo of at the same incubation temps, could give me the morph and length in days they took to hatch? I appreciate it!:main_thumbsup:

So far this season I have hatched 2 tremper snows, 2 non tremper snows and 2 tremper non-snows. They were incubated at 82-83 degrees and were all hatched between 51-55 days, which is similar to all the geckos I hatched last year. I'm incubating in the mini-fridge type and using the SIM. I also hatched a snow at 49 days that was born with a large yolk sac and only lived 2 days. I hope that's helpful.

Thanks Aliza! Do you think you could break it down even more for me? Tell me the exact length of incubation for all 6 of them? Not just a range in which they hatched. I would appreciate it.

So far I have hatched 3 clutches this season. The first two clutches are from a Mack Snow poss het Raptor x Mack Snow het Tremper poss het Eclipse. The third clutch is from Mack Snow Tremper x Mack Snow het Tremper poss het Eclipse.

Clutch one: 2 Mack Snows incubated at 89 degrees, hatched on day 45.
Clutch two: 1 Mack Snow and 1 Normal incubated at 89. The Normal hatched on day 41, and the Snow on day 42.
Clutch three: 1 Mack Snow Tremper and 1 SS Tremper incubated at 89. Both hatched within 5 minutes of each other on day 41.

Hope this helps!

No problem, Justin! I have 2 more eggs that are due to hatch in 2-3 weeks from my second pairing listed above. I will be sure to update you on them :D

Here's my data:
2010 season, incubating at 82 or so:
number of days it took Mack snows to hatch: snow x snow:55,56,56,60,60,59,63,59,59
(non snows from this pairing: 54, 53,56)

snow x albino: 56,58,59,60
(non snows from this pairing: 54,53,54,54,56,58,61,57,58,61)
snow x het albinio: 53
(non snows from this pairing: 55,56)

2011 season incubating at 83 or so:
Tremper x het tremper snow: 56,57,54,55
tremper x het tremper: 53,54

I hope that helps. I don't see a pattern, to be honest.

Well only 1 this year so far but here it is:
Parents are Mack snow het tremper x SS het tremper
Baby is a Mack Snow
52 days @ 82-83f

On a side note I have noticed Mack Snows seem to grow a bit slower then any of my other hatchling. With growing burst every few months. I think this observation has already been made before.
