Day 57 and still no baby leopard

reptilehouse Jul 26, 2003 02:26 AM

How much longer should it be? The egg was incubated at 98 degrees. You can see the leo inside it is small but you can see it when you put the egg up to the light. Any ideas on how much longer it may be. This will be our first little one!

How long do you let it go before you intervieen if at all?

Have you seen any movement inside the egg when candleing. If theres no typo error I believe 98 is hot enough to cook your eggs. I dont think you should be over 90. Ive seen movement in all my good eggs and at 57 days the babie should fill most the egg and it should appear mostly dark.

Hey,

Ya 98 not good! Sorry they were temped at 86-88 degrees. A couple weeks ago you could see the banding but now it seems to have gotten smaller(the gecko inside.)

What temp should they be incubated at?

for females?:
for males?:
for both?:

this is our first time so I am not sure. Thanks
