How long on ave do jungle eggs take to hatch @ 31c , I have read 50-55 days on alot of sites but just read 60-66 days , mine are on 65 days and look fine ( they started to dent last week) ugh!
 
That seems long. Mine hatched on Day 55 @ average 31.5 deg.

Cheers,

Haven't candled them - will looky tonight I have piped eggs before so wont kill any :D

Had a clutch of Darwins go 68 days this year , l had given up on them . Then 100% hatch .


Good to know , thanks for that. I am sure they will hatch its just weird I have had a few cluchs of spotteds hatch on day 44 this season but over 60 days for the jungles is geting a bit old , haha
 
er.




ok day 69 and they is pipin...
69 days at 31-31.5 seem hell of a long time , but YAY.
 
Have you got a calibrated thermometer to check your temps. At 31.5 they should hatch at about 58 days. Late means cool temps.

yup i have checked and rechecked and the room is heated to around 30c most of the time as well atm , even at night.
I have had other cluchs in at the same time ( 2 cluchs of spotteds hatching at 44 days each cluch) and a far few geckos hatching on time.

weird.
 
Normally when carpet hatch in that time temps are usually around 29.5. That is why I have had all of my thermometers calibrated. Some of them were nearly 5 degrees out (both digital and liquid thermometers)

It must be then ,I am just glad they have finaly started hatching! :D
 
My jungles were at 30.8c I use a calibrated thermometer and they took 57 days to hatch. Last year took 58 days to hatch at 30.5 c . Yes some thermometers are out by 5c+/- not good .
