Crested Geckos - Incubator Temps

I incubate at room temperature- slightly lower temperatures are better for them, as it seems to produce larger, healthier babies. Many breeders also claim that incubation temperatures at the lower end of the acceptable temperature range produce hatchlings with more conspicuous, defined head structure.

I use perlite and only do enough water to clump it up but with no water leaking, I never had my humidity go over 60% I use it sparingly and monitor the humidity with a meter and open the lid for 5 minutes once a week to help remove stagnate air and some moisture goes away. I will take some pics of my incubator so you can see. But my humidity is always around 58-60% humidity. I also sometimes even have to add water thorough-out the egg incubating season since I have several clutches in there as well as hatchlings hatching.

hope that helps
