Hi All,

I'm expecting my first clutch of panther eggs in the next week or two and I'd be interested to hear about the temperature regimes that keepers have used to hatch out panther eggs. From my own research I'm come across a few different suggestions regarding this and also ways in which to break the diapause.

At the moment my plan is to incubate for the first month at about 18C and then bring the temps up to about 24C during the day whilst still maintaining a drop to about 18C at night. My understanding is that this temp increase will break diapause in the eggs and lead to hatching is 5-7 months.

Thanks

Stuart
