U. milii Eggs!

[Ailurus]

All three pairs of Underwoodisaurus milii in my collection laid eggs over the weekend I have 6 eggs in the incubator.

I'm incubating them at 28 to 30C, is this too hot? I've been looking around online and in all my books and it gives a range of 26 to 32 (thats like 4 different ranges put together). But then again U milii do not like high temps above 30..... Anyone else successfully incubated eggs of this species, and if so what temp did you use?

I'm currently going by my copy of 'Keeping and Breeding Australian Lizards' by Mike Swan, which also says intervals between clutches are 20 to 30 days, with up to 6 clutches a year (4 more common) and an incubation time of 50 to 70 days at 28C. How does this compare to others experience?

Sorry for all the questions, first attempt breeding this species, and I want to get it right.

Thanks

Congratulations on your first eggs!
I incubate my milii, as well as my other Nephrurus at 82-83 degrees. I've had eggs hatch as early as 62 days, but usually take a bit over 70. Average time between clutches for me is about 30 days.
Best of luck with your eggs, and hope you have some photos to post up in July!

Ive been a bit slack with keeping records for milii. But i incubate at 29-29.5 and i have had them hatch at 55 days up to 62 days.
