How do i tell if my hatchling has notched eyelids?

[GeckoGrace]

I'm worried my baby will be deformed because the temperature fluctuated about the first 5 days from 79-85. So now i'm scared it will have notched eyelids and i won't know and it will hurt it. Help?

I just Googled "leopard gecko notched eyelid" and didn't see anything about incubation temp causing this. Where did you hear this? Keep in mind temperatures in nature are not consistent. Just wait and see if the gecko is healthy when it hatches.

I looked on Alizas article at gecko time and it was listed under deformities.

Hey there !

Actually you are correct, deformed eyelids are one of the deformities that may occur under improper incubation , here's a link that answers ALL your questions : )

Hey mo.mak this is a good article however the question was about the temp fluctuations for the first five days of incubation causing eyelid deformities. The article does not say what the actual cause is. She will just have to wait and see if the hatchlings have deformities.

Yes but you stated that you haven't seen "anything about incubation temp causing this", im just putting it out there that incubation temp indeed does have a influence on deformities regarding eyelids, Article clearly states that ; )
