hatch time?

[boutiquegecko]

For 80 temp, when do you start to check for hatchlings? I just realized our batch has been in for a month now, and I know females take longer with the lower temp, so just getting a feel for when everyone starts to check. I do a once weekly air exchange (we're using Albey's method). I can see through the container, so do we just look daily starting in a week or so?

I incubated eggs at 82 degrees and the leos hatched in about 55 days. So I'm guessing at 80 they might take somewhere around 60-65 days.

My hatch range at 81-82 is 54-63 days, with all hatches (14 so far) this year at 54-57 days. I start checking twice a day at about 53 days, mostly because I get excited and just have to check. I'm also using Albey's method. One of my geckos' hatched clutches in a row at exactly 54 days, so I was pretty surprised when the most recent clutch went 57 days. The other female's eggs have been a consistent 56-57 days.
