    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

this is a question for the breeders of large numbers of geckos that keep many clutches in one container in the incubator. if two or more babies hatch on any given day, how do u know which egg and therefore which parent the hatchling belongs to?
 
The way I do it is like this. Each female gets her own peice of tuperware for the season. Her eggs and only her egs will go into that container. There is no chance for a mix up this way.

In the male incubator I do it a little differently. I have several containers. I rotate through them. The first eggs to be incubated for male go into a container. The next set go into a new container. I do not put eggs into a previously used container for at least 2 weeks. This leaves no chance for different clutches hatching on the same day. All clutches in a container are at least 2 weeks apart. I use much smaller containers for the males because using this method I usually only have 4 eggs in a container at any given time.
 
I mark the date and a letter for the female they came from and only put eggs from a specific group in each conatiner. Like my LVPA 1.2 the eggs are int he same conatiner but they are marked and were laid on different days. If they did happen to hatch the same day from 2 females of that group Id be at odds too.
 
I incubate each clutch in a seperate container (deli cup) so that there is no chance I will get them mixed up.
