Background information: I breed my leos last year and got good healthy babies... I incubated for males mostly at 88. But last night my two youngest babies from last year i guess mated a couple of weeks ago and i didnt know and now i have two eggs. How was it possible of getting a female at 88 without her being "hot" and when i found the eggs they looked like they were laid a couple of days ago and they are shirveled abit but when i candle them they both had bulleyes. I incubated anyway like most people do and covered them with the incubating substrate hoping the moisture would pop them back up.

Any suggestions?

Temp sexing is not 100%, I have a male Tremper that Robin had incubated at 81. Your eggs may make it, I have a few that I found a bit late that plumped up after a few days and seem to be developing.

She is also under the weight of what i usually breed at... She is at 33g.

Keep her well fed and dust with a quality supplement like Repashy Calcium Plus at every feeding. I don't normally keep a calcium dish in with my geckos, but in the case of such a young breeder it may not be a bad idea.
