I have found that if I can maitain consistent temperatures that range from approx. 75-78 deg F that I typically have a 100% success rate. I once had a clutch that was exposed to a 10-hour temp spike that hit around 85 deg F and all of the hatchlings had various defects, kinks, etc. and unfortunately, they couldn't be kept either as pets or breeders.

Fred, I forgot to get back to you about your request for the hatch date of your indigo. She was born on June 30, 2004. Hope that helps.

>>Are ant snakes sex determined by incubation temps or is it only for leopard geckos? Other question, Indigos incubated at lower temps will they evolve healthy just slower or is it a serious problem? Just curious...
