Incubation temperature range and the effects on the gecko?

[gothra]

Say, a male incubated at 87F vs a male incubated at 90F. The 90F one will hatch out much quicker which means it has less time to get everything formed; will there be any consequent effect to that? I mean, in terms of body built, health or even longetivity in the long run?

One more question on temperature fluctuation; when you take pictures of the baby hatching out from the egg, wouldn't that cause some serious fluctuations to the other egg (same clutch) that has not begin to hatch? Or it no longer matters since the both babies should be fully formed already?

I have my incubator set up for 2 days now; there is mist-like condensation (very tiny water droplets) on the lid and wall of the container, no dripping. That's ok as far as humidity goes? I opened the lid and its like sauna inside at 89F.

87 degrees vs. 90 degrees. they will mature just the same. as far as i know there is no long term effects. as far as the incubation. i do know know what you are using but some condensation is okay. i would make sure and open up the containers once a week though or you can add more hole to the incubation container. put a temp probe inside of one of the containers as well to get a more accurate temp the eggs will be at.
