Your eggs look nice and pink! Lizards will hatch in 54 days average at 80-82 F. Mine are going 61 days this year as I am incubating everybody at 77-81.5 F to avoid heat spikes. I finally figured out to put the incubator boxes on the floor in the coolest part of the cabin which is making a big difference heat wise. I use a mix of vermiculite/perlite 1:1 with distilled water 1:1 weight. I maintain enough water to cause light fogging of the egg container lids, but not dripping.

When they hatch they are Leapin Lizards! So have them in a container with a lid during incubation, and when they hatch put the incubator container in a larger container so when they leap out you wont lose them.


Some of this season's hatchlings. Many more clutches to go. Found two big healthy clutches the other day under the water pans.
