Ok I got another egg this morning and I put it in the incubator under the second window so both deli cups were visible.. But the one side where the metal circle heater thing is was much warmer then the other side the deli cup started to fogg alittle so i moved it to the other side so i can see both in the same window if i look at a angle. And it stopped fogging up and has settled in well wonder if anyone else's incubators have a hot/cool side?
ALSO, do females hold sperm or after each clutch they have to be breed again to produce???????????? Because im not sure if my male that I have in thier with the females is makeing them gravid or if they were gravid when I bought them alittle over a month ago?!?!? My male is right between juvenile and adult size so im unsure if he is the one makeing them gravid.. I hope so cause the females are regular and he's Rainwater Albino so atleast il have a bunch of hets lol.. Any info on these topics would be great!!!!!!!!

I don't know about your incubator question, but yes females can retain sperm from each breeding. People say they can for about a year, but I wouldn't know. Is your male being bullied by the larger leos? Ifyou take him out for a few months and let him grow,then put him back with your girls, you might have more results. Males reach sexual maturity at about 8 months of age, but I would wait longer. I think I covered some of your questions. Good luck.
No actually he is alittle smaller then the females but if anyone runs the tanks its him lol... So sence my females layed fertile eggs they are gravid.. Does this mean the rest of the eggs I get this season from them should be fertile?? Im not sure if its from my male but if it is should i keep him in there... This male situation has realy been giving me a problem i have 2 and both are just between juveniles and maturity. My main question is if its not him makeing them gravid will they still produce fertile eggs?!?!?

Well, if you bought the leos gravid, then someone else did the trick. I can't really say if your guy is doing it. Like people, geckos hit maturity and different times, so its hard to say if your dude is the culprit. If you seperate him for a week, then re-introduce him to the females, you'll get a better idea, because he will go through mating rituals... shaking tails etc. If he doesn't do that, I think its safe to say hes not ready.
