the one thing i would recommend is next time use vermiculite, perlite, or the stuff that alan repashy sells(clay based stuff). i love the coconut husk as bedding for higher humidity herps(not leopard geckos), but would not recommend it for incubation. i just dont think it would hold the high enough humidity for that long without moistening it???i have always used vermiculite with great success. other people may correct me if i am wrong about incubating with coco coir, but i have never used it. i am hatching leopard eggs (for female) at 82.3 degrees f in vermiculite....males at 87.5 degrees f.
