leopard gecko egg

How long does it take to hatch a leopard gecko egg if you want a female hatchling.. I know the temperature has to be between 79 to 83 degrees I just need to know how long does it take for it to hatch out

I incubate mine at 82 degrees and they hatch out around 45-55 days

I incubate at 80-81. The first half of the season they were hatching at 53-56 days but for some reason now they are going more like 56-60 days.
Some of it may depend on where you're measuring the temperature. In the past I had the temperature probe in my hobovator just on top of the lay box. Now I have a mini-fridge incubator with the SIM. The probe is inside the SIM and the thermometer is inside the incubator.

i have been breeding for a while now and all my hatchlings are females! my temperatures are allowed to be between 80F to 83F which on average takes bout 8 to 9 weeks and a max of 10 weeks to hatch
