Hey,
The female generally lays 22-35 days after mating. Hope that helps you.

Thx 4 ur help, Mitch. i have used the word "geststion ", wrongly. i meant the period between laying, and hopeful hatching..don,t want to be caught off-guard....b

82-88 days incubation
Thats what it says in 'Keeping Australian Geckos' by Rob Porter, however that does seem a long time :?
In practice ours have hatched sooner than that, just not sure of actual dates.

Mine have gone from 51 Days to 78 days. I think one of Jay's went 84 days or longer. Last season the average for mine 65days.
Hope this helps.

From my experience with knobbies, my eggs hatch at approximately 60 days give or take a week depending on many factors. Have heard of eggs taking 80 to 90 days though.
