Hello all,
I've been hatching out Leopard Geckos pretty steadily for about the last 6
months, but 3 of the last 4 to hatch have all had deformed or underdeveloped
eyes. Living in California I have had the pleasure of a couple of rolling
black-outs, after which one of my hovabetors has had a higher range variance
than it did previously, and that is the incubator the deformed guys have
hatched from. The hovabator now runs between 83.2 - 84.4, and the two
blackouts each lasted about 2 1/2 hours. Do you think the deformities are a
result of the lack of heat for a few hours a couple of times, or the
increased variance in temp, or both? I have since moved all the eggs to a
new incubator, and all remaining eggs were laid after the rolling blackouts,
so I hope I get more healthy geckos. Just wondering if anybody has had
similar experiences, and a little insight into what I might be hatching out
next, because seeing the geckos with underdeveloped eyes simply breaks my
heart.
Cheers,
