Question:

does this sound ok for a homemade incubation for leopard gecko eggs?

So I am going to have a styrofoam cooler thing then I will have a under tank heater at the bottom. I'm going to put the leopard gecko eggs in a plastic tupperware filled with perlite or vermiculite (I don't know which one is better) on top of the heatmat. It won't melt right?? maybe I will put a towel between the under tank heat and the tupperware so it doesn't get too hot? I also will have a thermostat and a thermometer on top of the closed tupperware. Do I need to poke holes in the tupperware so when the eggs hatch the leo's can breath when they hatch? Does that sound good? Did I miss anything?? Thanks for any help!

Answer:

ok so we've been given a bearded dragon and she or he has eggs like countless 20 weeks and she or he hasnt mated so as that they are in basic terms the outdoors of the egg like they dont have an genuinely infant interior.. she would be ready to proceed to place those eggs till she has a mate hence she would be ready to then have actuall eggs :)
They r more than likely fertile. Just take paper towels n wet them, ring them out and lay them gently over all the eggs. Leave it for a few hours n the eggs shld plump back up. U may have to do this a few times before they hatch as it sounds like ur humidity is off. I dnt reccomend vermiculite or laying the eggs on substrate. I use a diffrnt method n they r straight over a bin full of water which is abt as humid as u can get. But I still sometimes have to paper towel mine. N if ever they start getting brown spots put a dry paper towel under them this time for abt a half a day or more n it will pull excess water.
