I just rescued this alligator lizard from my cats about a week ago, and she’s been recuperating well from some injuries. I have never had a lizard before (only snakes), and so her care is entirely new to me. Now, I left town for a couple of days and came back to find little eggs scattered around the cage... maybe 7 to 10 eggs. So now I have these little eggs to think about too! I have so many questions:

1) some of them appear to have been "popped" and are no good. Should I remove these?
2) the rest of them are dented or starting to shrivel. Is this dehydration?
3) I have read two different opinions about how to care for the eggs: remove them into a seperate container with vermicullite and water, or not to move or disprupt them and just leave them in the cage. What should I do?
4) I have a small ant problem and I have been able to remove most of them and stop the trail leading to the cage, but will the ants harm the eggs?

HELP!
