Much easier than you think. All in all it costs about 15 dollars.

Here is a list of everything you need:

Styrofoam cooler or normal cooler, brick, small aquarium water heater(can be bought at any pet store), Tupperware container(for eggs), and vermiculite to put the eggs in.

For female put the thermometer to about 80 F, and 87 for male.

Is it ok to touch day old leopard gecko eggs?

Most breeders are comfortable using incubators. When the eggs need to be transfered from the laying bin, into the incubator make sure that the eggs does not change position, to reduce the chances of the embryo being broken. After 12 or more hours, the eggs should have hardened enough to be transfered.


What does it mean when leopard gecko digs in the cage?

Well, you're probably in for a surprise. In other words, your leopard gecko is pregnant! If you've never had any other leopard geckos in the aquarium (or wherever you keep it) then the egg will never hatch, it's just a cycle some leopard geckos go through, and is not uncommon. No need to worry, just remove the egg; but if you have had another leopard gecko in the cage before, it was probably a male, even if you thought otherwise, as this can be tricky. If this is so, you should put a small container of fresh aspen shavings or the moss you can get, but not the sand (this can be hazardous for baby leopard geckos). Hopefully, your gecko will lay her egg in the container, and you should remove that and place them in an incubator (directions at http://www.albeysreptiles.com/incubate-eggs.htm). Continue to follow the directions at that website, and you will find what you need. If the eggs are not in the container, carefullyremove the eggs by taking all that is under it and gently placing it in the container. Try to incubate them, following the directions given earlier, but it will normally be too late by then. Hope your hatchlings-to-be will do well!

No, a leopard gecko prolapse is similar to a hernia in humans. It is when part of the intestines, uterus, or hemipenis pertrudes through the anal area. It can be caused by parasites, constipation or difficulty laying eggs

The mum lays the eggs then leaves. She doesn't wait for them to hatch. The hatchlings have to cope on their own.


Can a female leopard gecko have babies without a male?

A female leopard gecko will lay eggs every 4-6 weeks during the spring and summer (mating season) regardless of them being fertilized or not. Much like a chicken laying eggs, they ovulate periodically throughout the year. If the female has not been introduced to a male, the eggs will be a "dud" meaning there is no live gecko inside the egg. In most cases, these eggs will become shriveled up and decompose within the terrarium and not too many keepers even notice them in there. If you do find that your leopard gecko is laying duds, it's best to offer them a higher protein/fatty diet. Their calcium levels will deplete over time due to the extra calcium going into their eggs. Offer dusted wax worms or butter worms during the ovulation season.


What eggs do you need for a Incubator?

Can you leave leopard gecko eggs with the parents?

Most of the time you can, but sometimes the mother will eat her babies. I used to have two leopard geckos. 1 male 1 Female, and they had an egg here and there. Unfortunately the eggs weren't fertile enough to strive. I'm not really sure if you can keep a baby with its mother.
