I just got my first U. Sikorae eggs! They appear to be a fertile clutch, I found the female on the ground under some leaves, and I thought she was dead. Turned out she was holding two beautiful eggs in her tail.
I was wondering what temps you guys incubate at and what your humidity is in the incubator.
Please let me know as soon as possible!
Thank you so much,

No personal experience for me, but what I have I give thee...

the Uro Bible says-

they incubate theirs at 77 degrees, 100% humidity, their hatchlings hatch at about 84-86 days.

(I don't think it would hurt one bit to incubate at a lower temp though)

Thanks for the response.
I read that in the book and found that their reading seemed a bit high. As far as I can tell, everyone I've talked to and every post I've read advises that you incubate at lower temps and I've also noticed in almost every incubation container people putting holes in them, which would lower the humidity from 100%.

As of right now, I'm incubating my Pietschmanni and Sikorae eggs at fluctuating temps between 68F and 72F with 80-85% humidity. So far, all of the eggs seem to be doing perfect, with the exception of the first egg laid by my Pietschmanni group, which I think perished a long time ago because it has stopped growing and is about half the size of some of the other eggs that I have which have been incubating for four months or so. I know looks can be deceiving, but I'm hoping that I get a couple hatchlings. I should know if my incubation methods were successful with the Pietschmanni within the next month and a half or two, as I've got a couple clutches who have been in there for near 4 months! I'm really excited but working on not getting my hopes up at the same time.

Thanks,

Good luck with all the eggs, look forward to hatchling pics in the future

My pair has produced 5 clutches so far this year. I have been incubating the eggs at 76F in a mix of 1:1 vermiculite to water by weight. I put 4 very tiny holes in the containers. One of the clutches hatched 2 weeks ago. Both eggs hatched, but only one of the hatchlings made it. The 2nd clutch hatched today. I'm hoping they will both do well. Hope that helps a little.
