Pregnant snake! neew to knwo what bedding to use for eggs!?

She might pop today and i cant make it to the store on time before they close. i have a 24/7 walmart i can get to today but later. ima get a styrofoam box, a water heater and tomorrow ima get the hydrometer for humidity. But i need to know what else i can use for bedding besides vermiculite. I'll try to see if my walmart carries it but if they dont what else can i use. i assuming like bark or something right? help?? also if my walmart does carry vermiculite or if not and i due end up just buying the bark or something what brand do i use because dont soils or bark carry chemicals in them??? help plz!

Answer:

If theres no male in the tank, the egg is not fertilized, so no baby gecko will hatch. Just dispose of it. Its normal for females to lay eggs without a male, but as I said they will not be fertilized, hence no hatchlings. However, if their is a male in the tank as well, then I would still dipose of it if you do not have any vermiculite or an incubator. OR you can wet paper towls and lay them in a Tupperware container and lay the egg on that, it should work.
have you got a male as well? if you dont then you can do anything with the egg as it will be infertile and it will be like hens eggs that we have for breakfast and there wont be an baby inside. however if you do have another then you should contact the vet and check with them as they should probably know the gecko as well as you
