Today after work i decided to mow the nature strip, was mowing near the fence when the blades kicked up a rock and it wasnt till i was on the way back that i cought a glimps of a number of white eggs.
I quickly shut of the mower and took a closer look, sadly 2 ot of 5 eggs well..... didnt make it. when the mower blades kicked up the rock that was covering them it must have sqashed them. It was heartbraking to see that their were baby geckos inside, poor little buggers....... Athough i have limited knowledge on incubateing eggs i took it apon myself to do my best to gives these 3 little guys or girls a chance at life. I verry gently picked them up and placed them in a small tupaware tub (eggs facing the exact same way they were when i found them ) with moistend eco earth as i havnt any perlite, they are nested in the center on a fairly dry patch. the tub is now inside a makeshift, heated incubater.
now comes the wating game, i don't have the money to buy the needed equpment, im a personal trainer and its nearing cristmas so not only is work slow this time of year but christmas shopping dosnt leave me with much to go splurge on the needed equipment but any advice would be apreaciated.
I dont get broadband connection back till next week so pics will have to wait till then im afraid.
