Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
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.

how long at 82?
OK, yes, I got a very late start this season. Had to move and everything in the incu got cooked en route in my car. Still got some coming, but it's been so long since last season I'm not sure I've got the timing right. I'm thinking roughly 60 days? yes?

It depends on the temperature your keeping your eggs at. At 83 - 86, the eggs should hatch within 53 - 60 days.

I did 83 this year and had most pop out at around 56 days. Some were as early as 46. So 60 for 82 degrees sounds about right.

This is my second year ata 81-82. The range for both years was 54-63 days. This year it's more like 54-57.

Yep. 54-57 was about right. Got a gorgeous stripe laid 7/17 hatched after 54 days, with her clutchmate hatching at 57.

this may be a little late, but if you are incubating for females, you could do the first 20 days at 81-82, and then bump it to 88-90 for the rest of the time. This should give you geckos with less dark pigment in them, and in theory, should incubate a little quicker. since the sex is determined in the first 12 days, they would still be mostly if not all females. just a though.
check out this, its a good read:

You should be careful with that method.... many have produced 'hot' females that are overly agressive, and in some cases infertile. They need to be housed seperately from others. Also, remember colors can fade when they're not genetic, and any offspring you do get them to produce will not look as bright (unless you also screw with temperatures). Finally, large temperature swings tend to cause a higher percentage of genetic defect (missing limbs, no eyelids, etc). Most breeders avoid the risk and simply breed genetics.
