Default N. wheeleri incubation parameters

Thanks to everyone who helped with my breeding questions earlier, now I've got more questions!

I was hoping for some consensus on incubation parameters for N. wheeleri cinctus eggs. A search here on GU leads me to believe optimal temperatures are 27-29C (80-85F), and incubation lasts anywhere from 50-80 days.

I personally have used different media for incubation of different gecko eggs, perlite, vermiculite and/or soil to be exact. Has anyone noticed much of a difference between media?

My little lady has been digging like a monster for the past few days, and has recently shed (within the last 2-4 days) so I am expecting eggs soon.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Rob

Both perlite/vermiculite worked for me, or a mix of the two is good. I'm sure soil would work too, just never tried straight soil, maybe pete. 82F is a good temp in my opinion.
