so the incubation times are between 60-90 days dependant on temp. mine are at 23c so i'm thinking about 75 days.
i've never dealt with eggs before so aparting from torching to check progress what are the other main signs of an imminent hatch? and approx size?

 

[freekygeeky]

apart from the obviously... getting very very veryyy big!!! very round...


thats all..


mine has no sweating, no collapsing etc etc

you can also sometimes see stretch marks vertically on the eggs as they grow

I find some get noticably larger but others dont so much, so unless you weigh each egg when you 1st find it (which is risky if you might turn it) you can often not tell how much its grown. I recently had 2 enormous eggs, which were laid massive and got even bigger! ill post some pics some time its amazing! nice big babies when they hatched too!

its odd actually now you mention it, bt the last one that hatched did have stretch type marks on it, but i thought it was a ''duff'' egg, maybeee not!! lol

Ours don't show any signs either, not like the beardie eggs which usually started sweating when they were due.

 

[Art_Gecko101]

[freekygeeky]
