Answer 1

Get a little plastic tub and fill it 2-3 inches with vermiculite found in the gardening area of most home stores.Make it damp andplace it in a tank with a heat mat under it, thegeckospot.com has details on breeding and wikipedoa has the approx. number of eggs given each year in its lifetime.Go to youtube.com and search up '' making leopard gecko incubator '' and there will be a 4-5 star one by oogiereptiles on other sites,it will describe the temperatures for the genders of the leos.

Hope i helped!

They cannot do any 'job'. To make a homemade incubator simply go to www.youtube.com and type in "How to make a Homemade Leopard Gecko Incubator. This should do you well. Good Luck.

By the time you pick up everything you need to construct an incubator: you could have bought one, had it home, plugged in, and ready to use for about the same cost!

A styrofoam incubator for chicks can be purchased from Southern States for a very affordable price, and will provide reliable heat.

As for "may have eggs..." - she either does, or she doesn't.  What are you basing this guess on?

And has she been with a male?  Females who have never seen a male can still produce infertile eggs.  Developing and laying eggs is very depleting for a female Leo.  Please sure you are providing her with calcium powder in the habitat at all times, proper heat, UVB, humidity, and especially a good diet.

Just in case, here's a recipe for gut loading her insects, and be sure to dust them as well with a good reptile vitamin (keep this stored in the refrigerator)  2-3 times a week.

GUT LOADING CRICKETS for REPTILES:

The number one problem:

Dried up and malnourished pet store crickets and mealworms. These food items are essentially useless. A dehydrated and unfed cricket contains almost no nutrients at all; refrigerated mealworms are even worse. A lot of the variety in nutrients found in wild insects is actually in the stomach content - usually plant material. We need to duplicate this to provide the best for our reptiles; without the risk of illness/disease/parasites which can result from feeding our pets wild insects.

Please note that wax worms, while fattening, are not nutritious.

Basic Dry/Staple Cricket Food:

Equal amounts of dry Iguana food, dry dog food, chick starter mash, oatmeal (you can add dry baby food wheat/rye/barley, etc. as well; even shredded wheat - no sugar).

Grind these items together.  Place in a small lid/bowl for the crickets to eat.  Store the unused portion in the refrigerator or freezer, until needed.

Supplement daily with one of the following: sweet potato, bananas, zucchini, oranges, carrots, strawberries, assorted squashes (acorn, yellow, etc.), grapefruit, green beans, apples, kale, spinach, cactus pads, and just about any other nutritious item you can think of (do not use white/yellow potatoes - these are starchy and only good if used as a moisture source during shipping, and NEVER use Avacado - it's poisonous to most animals).

Provide the dry food and kale at all times (kale is readily available during the winter months, too), rotating the other food items through in succession. The key is variety, and to provide an assortment of varying nutrients. What you are trying to do is offer your reptiles crickets with guts 'loaded' with fresh foodstuffs.

The crickets should be gut loaded for 2-3 days prior to offering them to your reptiles.

Also, provide fresh clean water in a lid/bowl, adding a sponge or folded paper towel to prevent drowning.

  

Don't offer more crickets than the reptile(s) will consume within: 1.) a few hours if it’s a lizard, salamander, frog/toad, or 2.) a few minutes, if it’s a water turtle, so you know the crickets will still be full of the good stuff when eaten.

Be sure to remove any uneaten crickets so that they do not soil your pet's environment/water or bother your pet, once it is full.  Crickets CAN turn the table - and feast upon your pet! Or aggravate them, causing stress and even cessation of eating.

Also be sure the crickets are the correct size for the reptile.  The cricket should be the same size long as the reptile’s head is wide.

I hope this has been helpful, and good luck with the eggs.
