Question on eggs...

Hello guys,

First of all, thank you guys for the compliments. I will keep posting more and more pics as the babies keep growing and as i hatch more.

I will also like to ask you guys a question about eggs. I have 2 eggs incubating at around 89 F; they have been like that since they were 3 weeks old. For those first 3 weeks, i kept them at 82 F.

Now, this eggs are almost 30 days old, and one of them has started to sweat. I have seen my eggs sweating before, but when they are about to hatch...like at around 50 days old. What would be your guess...? I do not want to be pesimistic, but i would think this is one is going bad...hopefully not. I will really appreciate your comments.

Thank you,

David & Daniel Villar

I am no expert but I would have to say it has something to do with the incubation temps..... The "tremper method" is good if you want to produce bright females but it is not good for hatch rates..... I also thing it is a false representaion of the animals in a way..... But that is only if you kept your incubation methods a secret from the public and someone looking to buy one of the hot females from you......

Thank you...

Hey Greg,

I completely agree with you...actually i have never tried this "method" before, and i only did it with this 2 eggs to see what happens...I am glad i didnt do it with more eggs.

Here are some of my babies that were incubated at steady temps...

Wow, that last little one is going to be a real looker! I have also tried the tremper incubating method with a couple eggs and it produced so so results. I also ran into the same issue as you. Two of the four eggs started to sweat around day 35 neither of the eggs lasted full term. The two that did hatch were very nice but were not that much better than what I was hatching at regular temps. It could be that I have not seen a large enough sampling to make an educated guess on the issue however. Hope this helps.

From the looks of you geckos hatched at regular temps, there is no reason at all for you to use the tremper method..... Those are stunning.....

Wow, that last one is really a screamer. I liked all the others one too, but the last one made me take a breath in.
