Temp sexing Leo eggs........

gmherps Jun 07, 2004 06:30 PM

I hear alot of this and that in this situation, but is the proper *approximate* temps to incubate for all males and or all females?
I would like to incubate for all females this 1st time.

Thanks for the help.

When I want girls I go 80 - 82*. It takes awhile to hatch at the lower temps.

About how many days do they take to incubate at 80-82 degrees?

It varies. I have had them go 55 days all the way up to almost 70. That is a long time & I hate the wait.

Right on, thank you very much.
