So far so good, huh?
Well, my average incubation times are around 45 days in the low 80's
my females seemed to drop once a month for half the year or so. Maybe 6 clutches per season... it depends on the age and health of the female.
Sounds like you should have hatchlings soon! Maybe last week in July or 1st week in August?
Good luck man!

Hey,
mine were never as regular as the other Phelsuma species i worked with. 2 months in between clutches is not at all uncommon. I think it has to do with the huge eggs they have relative to the size of the female. It must take a lot out of her, so they don't lay as frequently as some other species like grandis or laticuada.
This is especially true in their first year of breeding.

You want your baby enclosures to be simple and very escape proof. I like to be able to see the babies at all times, so nothing too complicated. I use clear deli cups from Superior Enterprise and make screen lids for them to let in the UV light. I use paper towels for substrate and put some bamboo slices in there as well as some pothos leaves for a natural feel. Make sure you only put little dabs of baby food/ repashy diet, ect... because a big cap full could trap the hatchling and they can drown or get stuck in it.
I'll send a pic or 2 later

for my hatchlings i use a container i found at walmart. it is a jug that pickles come in but it had nothing in it. i cut a big hole in the lid and chaulk a creen on the lid. if you need some ideas i could take some pics and send them to you.
i also have a piece of bamboo in there and some ficus leaves in the bottom of mine.
and my comorensis layed and the eggs hatched out after 38 days and she still has not laid again. i dont know if shes done for the season or if shes just taking awhile in between clucthes. the hatchlings hatched out a couple of days ago so she is over 40 days with out laying again.
hope that helps some.

Also peter if you do use the jars, a suggestion is you could get a glass cutter and just cut out a hole for ventilation, and put some aluminum screen on it

aquarium silicone, its not toxi and provides the best hold, its about like 5 dollars at petsmart, or your local reptile sotre.
