Question
HI I NEED TO KNOW HOW LONG IS IT BEFORE THE EGGS HATCH ITS MY FIRST TIME NOW PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

THANKS MARTIE

Answer
Hi, Martie.

Geckos are an entire family of lizards, not a specific species.  Incubation periods vary between species.
Incubation temperature also affects incubation time.

In order to answer your question, I need to know what species the eggs are from, when they were laid, and how they are being incubated (and of course, at what exact temperature).

I can tell you that the majority of reptile eggs hatch about 60 days after they are laid, if they're incubated at ideal temperatures for that species.
