Hello,

My leopard has laid 7 eggs and buried them, I've dug them up once her nest was left and placed them in my incubator. I was wondering what temperature you set?

Thank you.

87f is where I have my incubators set and it has worked well for me.

I also try to keep the temp in my incubators (for leopard eggs) around 87F degrees. It fluctuates.

As to your "read but not answer" statement, don't forget, you're in a whole other time zone than most of us here in the States.

Not only different time zones but you have too give people time to get done with their day and have time too get on the forum to answer. No one sits on here 24/7.

To be fair to the OP, the original posting was on 4 August from the looks of things. Usually people pipe in with info, but i think this time none knew the answer, so didnt provide info.

But...looks like things are now moving along. Good luck with the incubation period!

I know people live in different time zones plus the post has been on for a few days so people can still read and comment, and I have to get stuff done, like I stated people read but don't comment, any way thank you Yvonne and Neal for the input and wellington the reply was really irrelevant tbh. Any way enjoy your day in the different time zone.
