how long do Leopard Gecko eggs take to hatch - she has laid one egg i think ...........?

Question

but i think it has been damaged - what should i do?

Answer 1

whatever you do, DO NOT rotate the egg in anyway. Lift the egg up carefully and do not twist, shake or roll any one of these will kill the embryo
Incubate at 90degrees in a moist box containing vermiculite, make sure the container is moist, not soaking wet. To wet and the eggs will die.
A moist box is just a container filled with water and any material that absorbs water (vermiculite, forest bedding), what i do is put the egg inside a small plastic (ventilated) container with vermiculite and then put that container inside a bigger moist plastic box heated to 90 degrees

Answer 2

You will need to get an incubator if you want them to hatch, or put them in a container with warm and moist moss or vermiculite, and put it over the under tank heater. It will take a month or two for the eggs to hatch (if they are fertilized), just depending on the temperatures.

Answer 3

If you have been incubating them at 80 degrees the entire time, they can take significantly longer than at higher temps. 50 to 60 days refers to when they are incubated at 86 to 88 degrees, which shortens the incubation period. Your oldest eggs should hatch any day now, just be patient! I have incubated them at cooler temps before, and had it take up to 90 days for eggs to hatch, but for the most part at 84 to 86 degrees they hatch almost exactly at the 60 day mark. -Jen
