Incubation....

As some of you may know my gecko is gravid

, and we will be using a poultry incubator to incubate them, we will place the eggs in a small container with a lid, and with a few pinholes of course.

My question is how high should the humidity be inside the small deli cup?

*Edit*
Another question, how many days should it take the eggs to hatch if incubated at a temperature of 85-87 F?

Thanks

Hey there

. My mix is to fill a deli cup 1/3 full of vermiculite and add 3 tbsp of warm water. I prepare about 10 of these ahead of time and keep them in an incubator. As soon as I have used 8 I prepare 10 more, and so on. I find it best to poke holes on the side of the deli cups, because condensation builds up faster on lids if they have holes in them. I would have to say that if you incubate at those temps you should have baby geckos in about 50 days. Good luck!
