upping the temp after 30 days

[vankirksleos]

:main_huh:I have read several places where it says these eggs where incubated at 82 degrees for the first 30 days to produce female leopard geckos does that mean they are upping the temp after 30 days? can that be done without risk of harm to the egg/gecko? just wondering thanks

Yes, it helps the true colors come out.

Will it work, though, if you temp for a combination of both males and females?
I'm thinking it will, but I'm unsure.

 

[pkrtech]

Yes as long as you temp sex them for 25 days. Some say 20 some say 30 I go with 25.

How much higher generall do you raise the temperature?

 

[pkrtech]

I raise it to 89.

This method of bumping temps was done by Ron Tremper to keep from producing dark (chocolate) Tremper albinos, since lower incubation temps tend play a roll in how dark a Tremper albino is. This doesn't really work with all morphs.

Playing with temps during incubation is risky and if you're going to insist on trying this method make sure you bump the temp slowly.

so its a gradual incline not all at once temperature bump and it is dangerous? or not? Im using this method for my het bell albino the father has a beautiful bright yellow and the mother is a nice bright normal
