Jeff http://forums.kingsnake.com/view.php?id=1990151,1990151 I just pulled fertile eggs from my Zono karsteni enclosure and need incubation temps or someone's best guess. I have two hovabators set up, one at 90F and the other at 85f. I put them in the 85f because these are not desert lizards, but I wish that I had a better idea about optimal inc. temps.

In the next 5-6 months I plan to upgrade them to 10x4s (or maybe bigger). I've always liked plated lizards and was wondering if a 6'x3x18" would be good for a group of maybe 1.2?

Karsteni eggs this morning, and probably more to come from the other female. Has anyone bred these or any of the zono species successfully? The eggs definitely look fertile, so I have them in damp vermiculite in an incubator set between 84-86.
