I incubate mainly for females, but it really depends on what I need. For example, Mack Snows are harder to reliably temp. sex than other morphs. I will be incubating them at
85* to make sure I get a few of each sex.

I can just pick one Incubation Temp...? What if I have multiple incubators ;)

I have both my incubators set at 82/83 right now. Last year I started at 85 and only hatched males. When I set it to 82/83, I only had 2 males and the rest were female.

I have 2 Nature's Spirit incubators... one set at 81 degrees for females, and one set at 89 degrees for males. I also have an Hovabator that I jury-rigged to accomodate more deli-cups and put it on a Helix T-stat set at 79-81 degrees for all my non-leopard gecko eggs.

I have two incubator. One set at 80-82 the other 88-90. I am incubating females in the 80-82 for 21-22 days to lock in sex then move them over to the higher temp to get better colors.
