    That's great! This is super exciting! Did you change any of the incubation temperatures?

    Re: Leopard gecko breeding questions

    Since the other one from the first clutch died I decided not to. Even if all three are males, I have enough room to keep them seperately and some of my friends want a leopard just as a pet and don't care if it's male or female. I want a male so I can breed him with Lea when he's old enough, so this way I'll probably get at least one. And if it get more, I get first pick

    Re: Leopard gecko breeding questions

    Okay so I opened the incubator today (I wasn't going to but my dad wanted his thermometer back lol) and while it was open I candled the eggs. the youngest are doing good, embryos are easier to spot and are near/at the top. The oldest one has had the pink glow for the past few days/weeks, but it's less defined now, mostly because of a dark shadow curled up in part of the egg, juuuust about the size of a baby gecko (hmmm, I wonder why ). I'm guessing it's the baby?

    It's pretty exciting to see eggs laid, then developing & finally hatching into adorable creatures, isn't it? It never gets 'old' for me either.

    The dark mass that you see is the baby. Usually when it gets to that stage it's close to hatching. That's super exciting and I can't wait for baby pictures!

    Re: Leopard gecko breeding questions

    Cool! I can’t wait for it to hatch.

    And I got plenty to feed him… my crickets hatched the other day and I got like 200 pinheads loose in my incubator. Took me about an hour to get them out lol. Anyway, if the egg hatches in 2-3 weeks the cricket la will be juuust the right size.

    Re: Leopard gecko breeding questions

    Okay, so I candled the oldest egg last night, and there were tons of veins in the top, and at the bottom there was a dark shape, and then the dark spot MOVED!!! I can't wait for it to hatch, should be in a week or two, assuming that a 90 the incubation lasts 35 days so staying between 87.5* and 89* should hatch in maybe 45 days? I'm so excited, can't wait to have a little gecko!

    That's super exciting (or should I say egg-citing, lol)! You should have a little leo baby super soon!

    Re: Leopard gecko breeding questions

    About hatchling care... I was planning on keeping the babies seperately in plastic shoebox containers with paper towels, a water dish, and a hide and heat it to 90* with UTHs under the container. I was talking to someone else who breeds leopard geckos, and she said that a UTH isn't safe for hatchlings??? It's gonna be on a tstat so I thought that would be fine, but will it? I mean, this person also uses calcium sand in some of her reptiles tanks, so I don't particularly trust every little thing she says, but I just want to get a second opinion.

    Also, should I leave the heat in the hatchlings containers on set to 90* for 24/7, or should I drop lower at night like I do with the adults?
