![]() ![]() Instead of putting eggs in an incubator on vermiculite like most breeders do,I have found that for hard-shelled eggs from various gecko species,including cresties,incubating in a plastic cricket box filled with more or less wet coco mould,placing the box inside the parents'viv exactly where the clutch was laid and half-burying them in that mould sold in solid bricks,gives much better results.Hatchling rate is 100% with cresties,only about 30% when I used constant temps in an incubator and vermiculite. I believe part of the success to produce successful hatched eggs with healthier babies is in the night temp drop,which follows the requirements of the adults' normal living conditions.This method takes a little longer but well,you can see the result here.
