Question:

My leapord gecko layed a white egg, and after a few days it flattenedwhat happened?

There is 2 of them in there. One male one female.thanks!

Answer:

The reason it flattened was because it wasn't humid enough, or its because it was a slug (bad egg). What you should do very soon, is buy or make a humid hide, put some moistened peat moss and vermiculite in the hide and put the hide in the enclosure. That way the leo can lay eggs in it. Also keep you eye on it and check the enclosure hourly for the next day or two, it should lay another. If you want to incubate them, get a tupperware bowl and fill it with moist vermiculite, after the leo lays another egg press your thumb down into the vermiculite and lay the egg down in the place where you put your thimb. DO NOT ROTATE OR MOVE THE EGG IN ANY WAY, gently lift the egg out being sure not to rotate or tilt the egg in any way or it won't hatch. Keep the eggs at a constant temperature between 78 and 88. If you want females keep the eggs between 78 and 84, or if you want all males keep them between 85 and 88. If you want a mix incubate them at 84 or 85. It takes about 3 months for them to hatch.
