We just mated my two leopard geckos and yes one is a boy and the other is a girl, i know that we have to give the female a home to lay the eggs but i am not sure what to put inside the container? and should i have the container open or cut a whole on the side and it covered?thanks
Well I dont own geckos but Im pretty sure make a cave and then put natrual surroundings and a good hot place
Once the female lays the eggs you can remove them and put the eggs in a plastic deli cup with holes and sterile vermiculite, soil or sand for substrate. I'd prefer vermiculite because it holds heat and humidity. Like many other egg-laying reptiles the sex of Leopard geckos are determined by incubation temperature. Eggs incubated at 79 °F will result in a majority of female neonates, whereas eggs incubated at 85-87 °F will result in a more even sex ratio and eggs incubated at 89-90 °F in the first four weeks will result in more males. Females hatched from these eggs are generally more aggressive than other females, and they tend to reach sexual maturity later if at all. An incubation temperature lower than 77 °F or higher than 97 °F will cause deformities and usually death of the neonates incubated at these temperatures
