... your best bet would be split them eggies into different nesties (erh; incubators) and on a variety of mediums if you like, since time is of the essense and your advisor(s) might be living on the other side of the equator with differ settings than yours given the same formula... it sounds harsh but we did found it on the long route...
I wonder what the consensus is on best incubating temps. for T. greaeca-ibera eggs would be? I want to produce females, and A.C. Highfield writes (1996) 32.5-33 C is the formula for females. What say other experienced breeders? I recently learned all my 8 T.marginata are males...a big dissapointment after 8 and 9 years of raising them from hatchlings. I want to produce females...safely!
Also, do you vary temps over the incubation period, or just keep it steady? Let me know what works, and maybe what did not if you experimented.
Any strong opinions on best hatching medium i.e.perlite,
