I had a clutch of two eggs hatch yesterday and they had been incubating since Jan. 4. That's 71 days. The clutch before that was 73 days, and before that was about 65 days. I think most people agree that it is between 60-75 days, but it can be longer and it can be shorter. The waiting game for you begins!!

I had 2 eggs laid on Dec. 26 and they still look fine (no mold or anything) and they are still yet to hatch it is like day 82 or 83 incubating at around 74 degrees and still no babys so it really depends.

Incubation can last anywhere from 55 days to 75-80 days. Most of my eggs hatch at about 70-75. Normally the warmer the incubator the sooner they'll hatch. But I have to say patience is probablly more important in the long run. High temps can lead to birth defects and some even claim a higher number of males. Well hope I helped and tell Inferno I said hi.

I've had crested geckos hatch anywhere between 65 and 90-95 days. The length of an incubation period depends on temperature and on the individual animal. Some babies from the same clutch will hatch 10 days apart.

BTW, Cooler temps not only make for a longer incubation period, but also larger, more active babies.
