Re: [Gecko] Caring for Leopard Gecko Eggs

Becky: I agree with Chris about spending some money on hova bators. They are really the best. However, you can make a home made incubator if that's your wish. Let me know I will send you the recipe. Mark, my husband declared himself the Gecko Breeder of the family after he successfully hatched the 3 clutches our female Leopard laid without loosing one and for the first time. How he did it? Simple, he used Lyle Puente's Leopard Gecko book as his Breeder Bible and referenced it with The Leopard Gecko Manua by de Vosjoli. I can also send you copies if you can't get your hands on it. Mark will not take any of my suggestions without conferencing with Lyle's book first.

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.
