Help!!

OK so my gecko just layed eggs and i have no incubator is there any other methods i could to incubate them??

 

[RampantReptiles]

Is there a male in with the female?
Do you have a place to keep babies if you hatch them? They cannot be housed with the parents because the parents will eat them.

You are not obligated to hatch the eggs and more than likely by the time you have something set up for the eggs to incubate in the eggs will no longer be good. If you want to hatch baby geckos then I would suggest buying or making an appropriate incubator so that you can be ready next time.

Dont worry if she has bred with a male then she will most likely lay more eggs in another 2-5 weeks.

Yea she is in there with a male and i do have a separate place to put them but i guess im going to have to wait till the next time she lays ugh.

You can set up a deli cup for them and keep it in the parent's cage temporarily if you have a spot that stays steady in the 80's. It is not an ideal method, but it may work until you can get an incubator.

Where you prepared for eggs and planning to breed?

 

[Bhkman]

No not at all I just light with eggs up with a bright light and they have like a red circle with another circle in it is that good?

You could do what we do and just get a tupper wear container and put in moist vermiculite and keep it in the cage, if the temps are fine the eggs should be. Very easy and has worked extremly well for us in the past and present. If you don't have any vermiculite you can google the many different things you can use, probably whatever you have in your moist hide (if its not paper towels). Just remember to keep the humidity up, which you can do by adding a shot glass/dental cup or little container of water.

EDIT: The red bullseyes are a good sign, make sure you mark the top w/a permenant marker and don't turn them over.

Right now i have them in moss in a tupper wear container in the tank. If i buy vermiculite later could i switch it to that or would it damage the eggs?

 

[Doubelminttwin]

As long as your careful it should be fine, but some people use moss w/out a problem

I use moss and it works well for me in my lay boxes and my homemade incubator

 

[Bhkman]

Bad new i checked on the eggs and they were dented any one have an idea why that happened ?

 

[Adinar]

Possibly not enough humidity? Are you keeping the container damp?

 

[Bhkman]

Yea could it be its to humid because when i opened it the lid had water on it
