how long does it usually take for eggs to hatch?


Here ya go!
Varnyard: I have heard of incubation times of 40 days to 120 days, but this is the time I have recorded with four different clutches. It would also depend on the temperature, a hotter temperature would tend to cause them to hatch faster, but the babies would be less healthy. Also at a cooler temperature the eggs would hatch slower. However I think 120 days is way off on time. I read this in a book, but I found this information hard to believe.
Babies need to be removed as soon as they hatch. They need to be offered some food as soon as they hatch. Hatchlings will sometimes start to feed within hours of hatching. Others will feed the following day. I offer medium crickets to fresh hatchlings; they seem to take these best. You will also need to have two different tanks set up for the hatchlings; some hatchlings might be smaller and less active. These will need to be removed and placed in a different tank then the larger more active babies. I use a 20-gallon long tank for hatchlings. This is a great starter tank. I put a heat lamp with a 65-watt bulb at one end. I also use a UVB, UVA strip light on top.

Thanks :) what a great birthday present! (my b-day is in July)

Cool! I appreciate the updates that people post when they get them. I know Bobby's got to be fielding a LOT of emails asking, so I'd prefer not to add to that if I can get updates from others that hear something.
