80. I keep my eggs in with my lizard tank because my room is at room temp and in my skinks tank, its 10 degrees hotter because of the light.

Most likely not. I remember I kept me at a constant 86-90 F and it took over a week to hatch.

I can’t tell you if they are still alive or not, however you need keep it moist at all time. Use a typical incandescent, infra red or ceramic bulb to warm it up. The temperature range should be maitain between the high 80s and low 90s fahrenheit. Don’t use a heat mat. After three weeks and no pinhead then I’m pretty sure it woun’t make it.

PS. After almost three weeks now without using any heating method, my batch of crix’s eggs at room temperature is about 75 F in the morning and went down to 65 at night. Still haven’t seen any pinheads yet so after a couple of more day, I will try again if no pinhead emerges.
