My suggestion is, if you want to hatch out baby's, buy an incubator, a rack, all the necessary supplies like deli cups/GEOs, food and water containers, thermostats for your incubator and rack and get ready. Because there's more coming if they are fertile.

You need to set the eggs in moistened perlite or vermiculite in a deli cup. You then need to set the eggs in an incubator with a decent thermostat at a consistant temperature, with no more than a 2 degree fluctuation.

Be prepared to house about 10-12 hatchlings individually. One female is capable of producing about this many in one season if she lays eggs about every 3 weeks.

Find room for everyone.
Obtain enclosures for each animal.
Buy lots of food.
Buy lots of dishes.
Buy lots of calcium.
Think about what kind of heat source you want to use for each hatchling.
Be prepared to spend a few hours with the reptiles per day, no matter what is going on.
Find a REALLY good vet.

I'm sure there's some stuff i'm missing, but that is what's off the top of my head right now. Needless to say, you really should have done some research beforehand if you wanted babies. I know everyone has to start somewhere, and I wish you well, but please try to plan ahead of time instead of scrambling at the last minute.
