leopard gecko eggs?? Just lay?

Answer:

Put them in a small, sealed container, gladware or ziplock type disposable food container, or any small plastic box you can see into. You can use soil, it's not the best, but it can work. Just make sure it doesn't have pesticides or fertilizers in it. And not from outside, you don't want any little bugs or nasties trapped in there. Coconut fiber works best in my opinion. What ever you have in the bottom, make sure it's moist, not wet. Inside the sealed container, you want to see just a little moisture on the sides, but not dripping from the top. You don't want the eggs to get wet. If you see condensation forming on the top, open the container carefully and wipe the drops off. Make sure you don't roll the eggs, the top has to stay the top. Put them in the container, seal it, and put it somewhere they will stay between 80 - 90 degrees farenheit. Closer to 90 and the eggs will hatch closer to 30 days. Close 80 and the egs will hatch in closer to 60 days.
