HELP

[puckett26]

I need some serious help fast! My fat tail female is pregnant and i didnt even know it. She had to have been pregnant when I bought her because my male and female have been seperate since i got them. I never asked which was which because they were just pets, i really didnt care. I assumed the fat one was the male and the little one was the female. Boy was i wrong. When I realized that was wrong I picked her up and seen the eggs. So I ran out to get some vermiculate and of course Home Depot out so i had to get Perlite. Since I didnt have vermiculate for the lay box I got some ecoearth. I made a quick lay box, put it in her tub 5 minutes later she was in it and I could hear her digging away. I looked up how to make a home made incubator and I found the one with water and aquarium heater, bricks and a tupperware. I am trying to get the temps right as fast as I can but its taking a while. How do I mix up the Perlite and water? I tried to mix it up just like I would with the vermiculate, meaning wet enough for it to clump up when u squeeze is but this stuff is different.

Do you have a scale? If so it is 1 part perlite to .8 part water by weight.

Do you want me to send you some superhatch when I ship your geckos tomorrow? It's really easy to use and you don't have to measure anything.

I would greatly appreciate a little, this has caught me completely off guard lol. She is digging around all over that hatch box, I think it will be happening soon. I got my temps stable in my little homemade incubator. heres a pic

I put some superhatch and some vermiculite in the box for you. That way you could use whichever you want. I hope it helps.
