For the breeders...

Does anyone use sphagnum moss for their leopard gecko eggs? I set mine up using the Albey's web page with perlite and water, but it sure seems dry in the container. I use sphagnum for my corn eggs, and I like the fact that it seems to retain moisture well, but still lets air to the eggs. Also, I've had the first eggs incubating at 82 F for about 65-70 days now... how much longer till I can expect these babies to be pippin out? Everything I read seems to give such a vague time frame for hatching... 45-100 days? Certainly there must be a better answer than that, or no?
Please advise!

as far as suphagan moss I've never uesed it but i dosnt hurt to try. 60-70 days are generally the rule for hatching, remember the lower the temp you incubate at the longer it will take.

I incubate my eggs at 83* and it usually takes 50-60 days at that temp.
