if you can afford to spend $40, LLLReptile has hova-bators.  If you can figure out a way to keep the eggs from getting below 80 and above 92, you should be fine with incubating them in your female's cage.  I'd make sure she can't get to them.  You'll also want to avoid exposing them to direct light.

Subject: [Gecko] Caring for Leopard Gecko Eggs

Our leopard gecko finally laid her two eggs.   I was surprised at how big
they were.   We put them into the hide box which has moss in it -- the moss
seems to keep the moisture better than the vermiculite.    If I keep the moss
moistened, is that OK?

My question is:   Is it OK to keep the eggs in the cage with the mother - she
won't eat them will she?

I don't have anymore empty cages to make an incubator with.   I'd like to
keep the expenses down to a minimum if at all possible, but then again, if
these eggs are good, I'd like for them to hatch.   I know, I can't have it
both ways.
