Most Cyclura eggs incubate between 90-120 days. If you incubate around 86 F, it will usually be around 100 days for large Cyclura. Do you have pure lewisi? How did it go with the garmani(and thanks again for the female)?

Sorry I took so long to respond,
Thanks for the info.
I have;
(1) male that is 90-95% Lewisi
(1) male that is 87% Lewisi
(1) Female that is 87% Lewisi
(1) Female that is a Camenensis x Cuban
0.0.1 Camenensis x Cuban x Lewisi

I currentky have 3 eggs from the 90-95% Lewisi x Female that is 87% Lewisi
All the eggs from the male that is 90-95% Lewisi x Female that is a Camenensis x Cuban all were ruined by the Hurricane along with some others from the other pair. I guess the pressure made them implode.

You're welcome about the Jamaican. It was a rough day (didn't see much more) and I left right after the last time we met.

It was nice meeting you.

I have not incubated them, but some acquintences who have tend to incubate similar to C. Cornuta. Typical incubation for me runs 70-100 days at 86-87. One essential item for success is a good diet for the female.
