I am suspecting my female to be carying eggs after placing my male with her.
Now I am playing around with the temps if memory serves me right I got my eggs to hatch at around 28c the last time but unsure as I have lost all my records in the process of moving..
Been looking on google and wandering if you guys can help...
what temps have you had success with in celcius please.

27 c will give you roughly 55 days incubation, the temp gradient is very broad, 21 to 33, anything over 33 will kill the eggs very quickly, potentially before you even realise its gone that high. Staying lower down the scale will give you a better clutch, higher hatch rate and generally healthier babies.
If you go too hot, you can get hot babies, they can be aggressive, poor feeders, and the potential for deformities is higher, kinks, missing organs, even a missing stomach!
