Are these all the things i need to breed Leopard Geckos?

Laybox/ Tupper ware FoodFemale Leo Calcium TabletsHeat PLate/ Heat Pad with adjustable tempPerlite/ VermiculiteSandHumidity Gaugeand if i missed anything tell me ps: with all that stuff im making a homemade incubator

Answer:

put in a down comforter and don't believe everything you read on the internet
you should have your beardie lay its eggs in sand for the east stress. vermiculite wouldn't be a very good place for a nest. vermiculite is used because it holds moisture very well and keeps the eggs moist so they won't dry out, there are some other options but i have heard that vermiculite or perlite work best. a good homemade incubator could just be a little deli cup of vermiculite with the eggs in it floated in a small aquarium with a heater in it. i have heard that it is a very good way to incubate eggs. you could build something a little better probably but i would recommend making one of these if you want something quick and easy. just get like a small aquarium a fish tank heater and something to help circulate the water if you can. so that the eggs get evenly heated.
