Hello (: I have recently discovered Gecko eggs! They are small, like the the size of a pinky nail. There is four of them, and I would like to know if they‘re fertile or not. I put my flash light to them, and two are yellow colour, and one os a red colour with veins, the other is kind of orangy with a few veins.They are all hard, and white, but one has a tiny hole in it ( the red vein one ). Could this effect it‘s growth? How long will they take to hathc, and if I dont have an incubator, how to I keep them warm? I wanna be a gecko mummy! :PHow do I know if they‘re fertile? What do I do to keep them warm, etc? AND what do they eat when born? I think they may be house geckos.
wait. you dont know what kind of eggs they are? where did you find them? if you really want to hatch them can take a small or medium ice chest. fill it about half full of water and put a fish tank heater in it at about 75-80 degrees. put the eggs in a small tupperware dish or something similar with moist potting soil, sand, perlite, vermiculite, or something else that holds moisture well. perlite and vermiculite work exceptionally well. mix it about one part vermiculite to one part water by weight. (i think) try to make it so when you take a handful and squeeze it it stays together pretty well but you don't want any water to be squeezing out when you squish it. i have seen many homemade incubators but one in particular stood out. all you need is a brick, a styrofoam ice chest, a small fishtank heater, and water. plus whatever you will be holding the eggs in. put the brick in. fill it up with water till it almost goes over the top of the brick. put the fishtank heater in at about 75-80 degrees. and set the dish or whatever you have the eggs in on the brick. this keeps the eggs warm and humid so they will hatch well. you should have marked the tops of the eggs. because if you turn them around then the oxtgen bubble could have shifted and messed up the developing embryo. the ones with the veins are fertile. the yellow one may still be developing or it could be infertile. and the egg with the hole in it could still survive as long as the humidity keeps the egg from drying up too much.
