    Natural Incubation

    I was wondering if any one knew what the time frame is for eggs hatching if they are incubated naturally? I know that most people say 50-60 days if you incubate them at a certain temperature but I have seen very little or any discussion about the natural process. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Takes about another few days.

    I think mine was around 65 days? I'll check my records.

    Re: Natural Incubation

    I was curious about this myself. Was wondering what kind of luck folks around here have had with natural incubation.

    Re: Natural Incubation

    Seems like it would be the way to do things...happens in nature all the time. I think it depends on what you are hatching.
    I would not try it with, say a clutch of lavender albinos, but I'm sure it would be interesting to see happen.
    Temps and humidity control would be a bit harder to maintain.

    Re: Natural Incubation

    My incubated clutches usually take 57-58 days, the few clutches that mom incubated were 63 days till they started hatching.
