For the most complete answer, google "leopard gecko breeding" and read caresheets. For the short version:
--provide her with a "lay box" --plastic container with moss, vermiculite or coco-fiber. She'll want to dig a hole and lay her eggs
--Eggs need to incubate at high humidity, at a steady temp somewhere in the 80-88F range. This is most easily achieved by using an incubator. The most common inexpensive incubator is the hobovator (though you really need to add a proportional thermostat to make it work best) or the Zoo-med, which already has the proper thermostat and consequently costs about as much as a hobovator plus the thermostat. If you still have the female with the male, strongly consider separating them because based on the questions you're asking, it doesn't sound as if you're quite ready to breed. Good luck with them.
