Amyae eggs

[alderaan]

Just a quick question.. Generally how long do amyae eggs take to hatch from laying? I've heard between 50 and 90 days. I'm incubating around 28 degrees.

Thanks

You should start checking to see if they have hatched after 70 days. They will usually hatch inbetween 75 and 80 days though.

I found around 68 - 70 days at 31 deg,, 28 may take longer though

Thanks guys. U reckon I should up the temps a bit Jason?

28 is fine, just make sure it doesn't drop below that, I prefer to aim for temps of 29-30, so you have a bit of safe variance either side to play with. Eggs are usually a bit cooler than the surrounding air temps, good idea to get a surface temp of the egg with a temp gun, you may be suprised just how much cooler they are.
