1. I have trio of Leopard Geckos

Female Tangerine Tremper Albino
Female A.P.T.O.R. het R.A.P.T.O.R.
Male Tangerine Albino het R.A.P.T.O.R

I have a pair of eggs...2 pairs from the male and het raptor female. Laid 8/22/08 and 9/7/2008. They are in an incubator with the temp on 82-84 degrees. I was wondering how long does it take for the eggs to hatch? I know it varies but from those of you with experience.

ALSO

I am looking into a small and simple rack system. I wanted to ask how come the plastic bins/ plastic drawers on wheels wont work (can be purchased from k-mart etc ill try to include a pic) they seem really expensive. And if not, can anyone recommend a place to get them. THANK YOU!!!!

ALSO

My geckos were raised on meal worms but there was and still might be a shortage so they have been eating waxworms and are uninterested in the crickets. Is this okay

At those temperatures you can probably expect it to take around 50-60 days or so.

Those little drawers would work if the dimensions of the drawers are big enough and if you could find a way to heat it to the recommended 88-90 degrees on one end.

No waxworms are absolutely not ok to be fed as a staple. They have very little nutritional value, they are the equivelent to lizard candy. If you cannot find mealworms you can feed butterworms, phoenix worms, small silkworms or hornworms. Also geckos are programmed to eat crickets by instinct, it may take it a few tries before it realizes that its food, but they will eat them.

I might ad about those plastic drawers on wheels. I'm not sure what is in the plastic of those, but they may contain a toxin that is harmful. The plastic containers that are used to house herps should be food safe.
