egg hatching question

TimS Feb 11, 2008 02:50 AM

how long should a leopard gecko egg take to hatch when incubating for female at lower temps? im waiting for mine to hatch and going crazy but its getting close to the end of the 4-6 week mark like i read that it takes. the 19th will be the 6th week on the head. im use to python eggs that get soft and dimple about a few days to a week before hatch just wondering if leo eggs do the same thing of any sort
