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.
here they are and looking mighty healthy! This will be my 1st clutch from my new colony. Very excited...so please comment and give pointers if you have em!
The eggs look really healthy. Did you candle them to see if they are fertile? We only recommend using SuperHatch (calcined clay) as a substrate. With all the other methods of incubation you will need to weigh and measure out the water to keep the humidity in the incubator consistent. I also do not put any ventilation holes but rather open the top 1-2 times a day. Check out our thoughts on SuperHatch from our article Reptile Incubation With SuperHatch
The only way to be certain they are fertile is to candle them. It works best 4-7 days after being layed but I can usually tell on the first day if it's a good or bad egg. I personally use eco earth and add water to feel (basically if you can't squeeze water out of it you're good).
Best tip- be patient! On day 55 or so I set up the baby cage to be ready whenever they hatch.
Another good tip for anyone new to Crested Geckos is to let the egg incubate in temperatures around the mid-low 70s which result in a longer incubation time. The longer the neonate has in the egg the more time it has to absorb the yolk and you will actually have a larger, healthier hatchling and an increased hatch rate.
Well how ya doin' Brittany. There seems to be quite a few of us hanging around various forums
Yep, lower incubation is best. I've heard 68-72*F is the low range. Here is a thread about how head and tail structure may be affected by incubation time:
I don't find many in my city though, kinda a nice feeling as I have no reptile friends irl other than sometimes the guys I talk to at Petacular Exotics.
