need help - lower than room temp incubation
So I really want to incubate my gecko eggs for longer, 75 degrees just isn't cutting it, they hatch out too soon and develop too fast for my liking. I have no air conditioning in my apartment, so dropping indoor temps isn't possible. I'd love to shoot for 68 degrees F.
LLL sells a mini fridge they market as an "incubator", but I've read reviews on amazon and all are 1 star, it seems they all crap out after a few months of irregular performance.
Help?

try and locate a wine cooler

How many days are your geckos incubating for at 75 degrees? Is that the warmest it gets? Usually a steady 75 degrees is fine and the babies hatch out good size, fully developed with no issues.

I would try a fan and direct it overtop of the eggs and see what kind of temps you get. This way you get a little air circulation and it may cool it down a little.

+1 on the wine cooler. A lot of times you can find them at department stores like Belk or JC Penny
