My female gecko laid one egg(as far as I can tell) and I have it set up in my rigged incubator. It is nestled in a soil/sand mixture that is damp, but not wet. Humidity sits at 85% and temperature is at 81 degrees.

Is this sufficient for Panther gecko eggs to hatch?

Well I have one viable egg, I held it up to the light and I can see the little dark shadow at the bottom and the red veins up top. So I guess whatever I'm doing must be working so far. Has anyone else had experience breeding these guys??

Sounds like you are doing it right. A fairly wide range of temps and humidity seems to work for these guys, so the fact that I use less humidity at a higher temperature is probably not an indication that you should change anything. I keep mine a little drier because I have had mold issues at high humidity, but I also keep them at 85 deg. F, which would also contribute to mold growth. Either way should be fine. I suspect the eggs hatch faster at the higher temp. Since pictus are genetically sex determinant, the temperature won't effect the gender of the hatchlings.
