For those who breed Uro's or have bred them. At what temps do you suggest incubating there eggs at ???

Just curious...Thanks,

I incubate my uro eggs at 93 plus or minus 2 degrees F. I use this temp and i have six eggs that are flawless. I am on day 45 so this temp definately works. Douglas Dix from Deer Fern Farms told me everything about incubating uro eggs. Look around at his website and go to the care sheet. If you still cant find it just e-mail him.

There may be a wide range of acceptable temps, I think the hard part is the right degree of moisture. I had 4 clutches, about 40 eggs laid this year (geryi and acanthinuris). Most went bad. I tried different media, levels of moisture, and temps. The ones doing OK so far are in 2 incubators at 80 degrees. That is the temp because I have 2 Gila eggs in there and that's the optimal temp for them. The eggs are in barely moistened perlite but the humidity in the incubator is very high. Uro eggs are a major challenge for me!!

I would talk to douglas dix about how you are incubating your uro eggs. At that temp it will take over 80 days for them to hatch and when they do hatch they are week and have a miserable survival rate. If i were you i would talk to douglas dix, and raise your temp to 93 degrees F.
