Anything in the incubator? Most of ours just dropped their first clutch of the year.

I have 2 eggs from Cyrtodactylus elok (although I baught them as c. brevipalmatus) at the moment, which are currently on day 81 of incubation lol... hopefully I'll have some results some time soon

What temperature are you incubating them at? I have a Malaysian contact that incubated them at 80+ F and had them hatch in under 3 months, I havent spoken with him since to see what became of them, however. My eggs seem to hatch at 5-6 mos, regardless of species in the 70'sF.

I've also got a pair of elok eggs. Given that the female was found in a region that ranged from high 60s - mid 70s I'm incubating at those temps.. with a day night flux. These eggs were laid on 4-10-06, so it will be a while before they hatch. Has your elok laid yet, I remember you mentioned that she was gravid.

Not that I have seen, but I havent looked either. I think she re-absorbed them though.

I am incubating them at 80

Having posted that message yesterday I now have one hatchling lol having hatched at 82 days. However I think that either 80 is too high an incubation temp for them or there must have been some problems in the incubator I didnt pick up on when I first sytarted using it. This hatchling didnt have a fully formed tail when it hatched, just like I had with an african fat tail hatchling. The AFT egg and the two cyrtodactylus eggs were the first 3 eggs in the incubator by about a month so it seems to me very likely that there was something which went wrong. All later hatchlings have so far been fine however.... we shall see how the second cyrto looks. Pictures to follow soon!

I really think these guys are going to do best with incubation temps fluctuating and below 80.
