My leo laid eggs in the water dish. 3 days later i read that it would kill them and filled the dish with vermiculite. did the eggs die before i filled it with vermiculite, or do they still have a chance?
uh-oh! you need an incubator, quick. here's what to do. get a small fish aquarium, fill it less than an inch on all sides with perlite (found in home depot). after that, get a heating pad or a very hot light and a thermometer. make sure it is at LEAST 80 degrees or 79 degrees Fahrenheit. if you don't have everything, just run to the store quick and buy everything. get a tuberware container and fill it 2/3 of the way with perlite. weigh it on a gram scale, divide number by .8, and then add the two numbers together. spray with water until it weighs that number. put the tubberware in the aquarium and turn on the light and adjust. then go out and buy a better heating pad and use that for the rest of the time, which is about 6-12 weeks. hope it helped! good luck can you answer my question? it is 'is this leopard gecko egg alright'. ps. you can use vermiculite instead of perlite p.p.s. you should candle them, which is carefully put them on a flashlight (oh also you should mark the eggs on the top so you don't turn them over) and if they are yellowy rosy color with a tiny embryo on them they are healthy. if they are green or grey they are duds.
You need a incubator or they won't stand a chance.
