Question:

i have a question about baby lizards?

i found lizard eggs. do you have to help them hatch?are they allowed to be exposed to the sun? what temperature do the eggs have to be in ? do the eggs have to be in a incubator? what else do i need to know about hatching lizard eggs?

Answer:

you need to really specify what sort of lizard eggs they are. and if you flunf them in the wild then put them bac - as i cant see how you could just stumble across some without finding them outside - put them back ASAP
LEAVE THEM WHERE YOU FOUND THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There are too many variables to this question. It would depend on the type of lizard as to what would be good for the eggs. I am assuming that since you said I found the eggs that they were laid by a wild lizard. Leave it to nature. A wild mother lizard would know where to lay her eggs so if you disturb the nest you are going to kill the babies. I would recommend that you just watch the nest daily and see the babies when they hatch. Let them remain wild and free.
I have been a Herp breeder for years. You can hatch the eggs yourself. You do n ot need an incubator, just a small plastic shoe box with vent holes on all for sides. For native lizards you can just use regular dirt for the substrate. Use 2 part dirt to 1 part water. When you place the eggs in the box do not turn the eggs on their side, you will kill the embryo;s if you do. As long as the inside of the box stays around 80 degrees the eggs will be fine. Check the soil from time to time. Keep i damp not soaked. If the eggs start to dent, add a little more water around the eggs.
Non of them. you should use something smoother like tissues.
