Ok well ive got leo eggs what should I do lol
she laid them in the non humid hide, i dont have an incubator either

was thinking of setting up a kritter keeper with damp vermaculite and leaving it in the tank??

however i do have various heat sources and a on/off thermo


ill add more detail ina min..just needed a fast responce


EDIT:
ok deep breaths..haha
Well ive had a male/female leo for just over a year now. Last year she wasnt laying propperly so I assumed there was a problem with either male or female.
I wasnt sure if she was gravid or fat or going to lay soggy eggs again but I just looked and her hide was pretty much closed off and there were 2 healty looking minni sausage shaped eggs.

I have not moved them yet I dont want to do anything wrong, I have read up about breeding quite abit but still unsure, advise please and fast! :p

Sorry this seems a weird layout I posted on another forum but wanted to post here for fast reply

Leopard gecko right? I have 2 females and a male. You need to isolate the eggs. You can keep them in the cage, but make sure the others can't get in. When/if they hatch, you cannot introduce the baby into the cage. The adults will eat it. You need to wait until the babies get big.

yep leo gecks sorry!
ive set up a container (1 of them u buy crix in etc) with damp vermaculite, it son a heat mat warming up, should I put the eggs in while its warming or wait til its warm?

When its about 80F I will rig it upto the thermostat and heatmat so it stays about 80F (for females)

Well, you are on Arachnoboards remember. I deal mostly with Ts, so when my Leopard Geckos lay, I just put a heat lamp on them, put them in verm, and keep it moist. They always hatch though.

ok they are now in my home made incubator!
They were stuck together, is that a bad sign? It was quite a ferm join. Worried now.
I shon a torch from underneeth them and they were consistent in colour but 1 seemed to have a hole in it or a weak shell spot.

They were very firm though, not that i was queezing them and they were full as opposed to like half empty.


oh and (may seem silly), should I expect them to hatch on the same day? should they be in their own incubation containers?..may be dificult since they are joined :eek:

If you can keep them moist and at a pretty constant temperature, they should hatch, if they are fertile. Can be pretty tricky without an incubator...but it can be done. Good luck.
