I am incubating sulcata eggs at 85, does anyone know about how long it takes for them to hatch?

I am sorry I bothered you guys, I thought that this forum was to help people with questions.Being none of you know, I found out on another forum, it is about 88 days. I surely will not waste your time or mine again.

There is a separate Sulcata Forum. You may have gotten a faster response had you posted the question on that one.

Thanks Bill, last time I visited you, you were in Conn. Joe Kahn

Yes, that is correct, Joe. I moved to GA in 2002. Can't remember when I saw you last. What year was it? Do you recall?

Also, congrats on the eggs. How many do you have incubating?

It wasn't long ago, only about 25 years or so. AT the time, I lived in NY and had raised up a Radiated from a baby to about 10 inches, and came up to see yours. I moved to AZ in 1990, and never did get out of reptiles.I have been breeding Greeks for 3 generations, marginateds,Gulf coast boxes, Albino red-ears,beardies,etc.Trying to breed Rhino Iguanas.Just got an adult pair of Leopard Tortoises. I have just started breeding Ridge- tailed monitors, and plan to work with other monitors.I just got a litter of salmontine boas, born on the 4th of July (like the song). I see your Radiateds all the time on kingsnake, you are doing great, produceing quite a few babies. I wish I had not parted with mine, but I could not afford to pair him up.I have 6 5" Sari Lankin stars that are doing great. they are a poor mans legal,Radiateds. I refuse to pay for a permit for Radiateds, that they can refuse and keep your money.Stay in touch,my e-mail is jskahn69@yahoo.com Have a great weekend, Joe Kahn

About the sulcata eggs, I have had a male since he was a hatchling, 13 years ago. I raised him with 2 others which turned out to be a male and a female. Being I didn't want to breed them, I sold the pair. This year, after he has spent years humping everything he could in the yard, I felt sorry for him and picked up 2 females. He is now a happy camper.Unlike some other people, I will not disgard eggs. I understand their reason, but I can't. I was a city boy, not a farm boy. I would eat about anything, but not if I knew it when it was alive. I could not distroy fertile eggs. I will try to get them homes, if I can't, I hope some of them will end up being raised by people who will gain a respect for reptiles.
