 Eggs, eggs, eggs!

well i’m back again with an exciting update.
so as you know (if you read my previous post) that i had a rusty colored fence lizard who i thought might be gravid, so thinking that i but a lay box in there.
so i was gone all day for the 4th. when i got home i checked the lay box and didn’t see anything so i lightly misted the terrarium and went to bed. then yesterday i was extremely tired so i slept almost all day. well today was my pay day and i went to get some new coconut fiber substrate, and just when i was getting ready to change it i took the lay box out and.. found 9 eggs laid
UNDER the lay box. close but no cigar.
so i carefully picked up each egg and moved it to the lay box.
sadly one of the eggs was bad (looked as if a cricket chewed on it.. i was really sad to see that.)
and 3 of them looked dried out. so i threw out the one and put the 3 in there in hopes that they will still hatch. now what i mean to ask is what are the temps to hatch these? right now i have them at a temp of 105f with a humidity at 60%. if these are wrong please tell me. i would hate for these eggs to go bad because i didn’t have the right temps and humidity, and i would be more then happy to correct them immediately. so please let me know fast.

I don’t know about the humidity, but you really need to turn down the temperature. I’d say in the low 80’s.

i really do hope they make it.
especially if they have a rusty color like that of their mothers.
i know i will sound stupid for asking, but how long should it take for them to hatch?
couldn’t be anymore than 8 weeks right?

I researched it and it turned out that it usually takes about 6 weeks for them to hatch.

wow, that will be some lucky timing.
should have a new batch of crickets hatching just about the same time.
meaning they will have enough food to last them months.
thank you very much for the info!

Messaging would work, that way I can get back to you later. I’m on vacation and my internet is limited.
