Leopard Gecko eggs.?

Question

I NEED help!!! My leopard gecko just laid eggs and then burried them in the sand, but now I cant find the eggs. I'm afraid to dig through the sand because if I do I might hurt the eggs. What should I do and after I get the eggs what do I do with them?

Answer 1

remove the mother and let the eggs hatch on their own.

Answer 2

once you find them youll need an incubator, heres a youtube video for making  one.

Answer 3

You'll want to lightly brush off layers of the substrate until you see the top of the eggs.  Once you find them very carefully excavate them (I prefer the use of a teaspoon that my hands).  Make sure you get fully underneath the egg as not to damage it.  Once removed you will want to get it on an incubation medium of either perlite or vermiculite (or a combination of the two).  This should be mixed at a 1-1 by weight ration with water.  Place the eggs on the medium (inside a tupperware container with 4-5 small air holes poked in it) and place it in an incubator.  If you do not have one, an option is to put it on top of your hot water tank, however I highly suggest investing in a proper incubator.  For females, incubate about 81oF, for males around 89oF, a mix... between 85-86oF.  Eggs should hatch between 60-80 days.  

If you gecko has not been with a male... the eggs are infertile... pitch them.  Geckos can retain sperm for up to 8 months... so even if it was a couple of months ago the last time it was with a male, there is still a chance that the eggs are fertile.

Hope that helps!

Answer 4

As for the "egg laying chamber" (I assume you mean a moist hide?) you can't make her.  One of my females buries her eggs 2 inches down in the moist hide.  The other just lays them out on the tile over the heater.  They lay how they want to lay.

You just need to carefully brush away the sand.  How do you know she laid them there?  Did you see her do it?  Is she skinny now?

You need a proper incubator, or you need a moist hide in the warm end of the habitat.  Our Hovabater incubator was only $30 at a farm supply store.

Answer 5

gently move the substrate around and until u find the eggs but make sure wen u pick them up u dont  turn them upside down or anything because this would kill the embreo good luck

Answer 6

find the eggs, then they need to be incubated, specific temps for specific sexes, this is presuming the eggs are fertile, has she been with a male lately?? if not then the eggs need to be discarded as they are not fertile and will rot. if you have had her with a male then you really should have reasearched all this before she layed the eggs.
