Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Incubating at 28'C... How long to hatch?
Hi guys
Anyone know how many days incubation for bearded dragons at average 28'C (83'F)? The temperature fluctuated between 27 and 29 (thus 80.6 - 84.2'F)
We incuabted at 29'C last season and the eggs hatched at 63 days average. It was the first year we used this thermostat and we lost more eggs than in the past. I thought it was the temp that went to high at stages and opted to drop it a degree Celsius this year. Now I have no idea on how long it will take the little buggers to hatch... Any ideas? It has been 69 days now and there are no signs of them hatching...
Thanks in advance!
Jacques

My incubator currently fluctuates between 82-85 F. (depending on where the eggs are at specifically in the incubator) and I regularly get clutches hatching at 60-65 days.

Hey Jacques,
Is your humidity levels remaining the same as last year? What are they? More variables to consider than just temperature.
I would guess that you will see some eggs sweating in the next 2-3 days.
Good luck!

As David said, check the humidity levels as well. I currently keep my eggs in soaked and drained perlite that is in small deli cups. Each deli cup has two holes (I'm guessing 1/8-1/4" each) and holds around 10-11 eggs depending on the size of the eggs. My incubator(s) also have a small water tray in the bottom to keep the overall humidity up. Even while using the same setup for each deli cup, I commonly have each deli cup's eggs hatch out on different days even though they're from the same clutch.

Thanks for the advice (and keeping my hopes up, its amazing how slow time goes by when you wait for eggs to hatch...) guys. The dragons started hatching today. 71 days at 27-29'C. Here is a pic of the little buggers. Two Witblits patternless out thus far, one with its head out. The other are 100% hets. Sorry for the poor quality pic but it was sent to me by phone as I am not home. Cheers

Alot of variables play into how long incubation takes , including elevation and barometric preasure. Ive had clutches hatch in as little as 45 days at 85f, but the norm for where Im at is 55 days at 85f.
And Im on the same boat as David , one of these days !
