You will need many replicated to draw any conclusions. Good work.

Onya Shannon,...Will do the same on my lot to compare. Might only get one pos two clutches this yr...who knows. Just chucked the first sluggo's out,...mould after 2 weeks.

The hypo x het pairing clutch should be layed soon,...I found the female that held onto them for 3 months layed when temps got to 30+ on those hot days. So I have cranked the laying tub up a few degrees to around 30 in hot end and 24 cold end.

Good luck on your clutches mate. Keep us posted.

Ok number 3 came out after 59 days at 26deg cel. The first two hatchies are going strong.

Very nice banding on that one

Possibly a few long term breeders on the gecko forum that may be able to give you input.
I'm sure danny brown has probably taken a few notes in his time breeding also.

Cheers Brett and Gem, 3 more Are due out over the few days so expect more pics

It has been interesting to see so far there has been a huge difference in hatching times at 26 deg cel still more to hatch!!

Is there any evidence of TSD in Australian lizards? Turtle and croc eggs are subject to TSD but are any lizards too?

Quite a few dragons are few articles on google if your interested.
