Cool!! Congrats!

That looks like an interesting medium you have the eggs in, what do you use? Is it difficult to hatch them, what temps and humidity is acceptable?

[Mitton]

The medium is normal egg hatching medium, Vermiculite mixed with Perlite. The pieces of moss is not part of the medium, we have damp spagnum moss in the lay box for the female and some stuck to the eggs when transferred to this tub.

The other egg in the pic should only hatch in about a month. The female dropped 2 eggs every time but one egg went off very quickly each time.
It is amazing how much an egg gets bigger as the due date approaches, it almost doubles in size.

It is easy to hatch these eggs, you put them in the tub with the hatching medium and put them in a cupboard or drawer somewhere in your room. No need to use an incubator.

What do you feed your adults Eugene?

[Mitton]

Crested Gecko Diet mixed with purity. They like Apple, Pear and Peach most.

Then they get a few crickets every few days.

Temperature??? Humidity???

[Mitton]

Temperature??? Humidity???

Whatever your room temp is. As long as your room does not get to 30 degrees or drop to 20 degrees during the day it should be fine. We had more hot days in November and the 1st 2 eggs took about 48 days to hatch. Since December it has been much cooler with the rain and so on and this last egg took 60 days to hatch.
If you mix the incubation medium correct then the humidity will be correct, that tub that the eggs are in have not been changed\sprayed since the start of December.

I don't measure temperature or humidity in the egg tub.

Thanks man! That sounds easy enough. Keep us updated on the arrival of the next hatchlings.

We also found the adult male wearing his hoodie.
