Hi, I will do the best that I can for you.
Make sure that your female stays above fifty, exspecially when pregnant. Yours sounds okay, but don't go below.
The gestational period is between (two to five weeks). Yes, they can produce past what is pro-claimed as far as breeding season, I have seen it. They can still be fertile. A female can re-tain some of the males sperm from the lasting breeding and have eggs again, but it is best to re-introduce them to each other about every other time.
Breeders will breed females usually from like one month to an ending month, and then let the female have a few months off to rest and let her system have a rest. Usually during a geckos normal breeding time.
Go to "Albey's Too Cool Repiles" page, of which they advertise on kingsnake under the businesses section home. When you get there go to the title that says (care) and it will give you step by step instructions on the best way to incubate. Also, go to there (features) title and it will show the birth of a gecko.
By reading how they incubate, you can take info. from there to make a whole made incubator if you don't want to put the money out for one of those styrofoam ones.
If you keep the temperature at 85 degrees for a week, you will come out with mixed sexe's. If you keep the heat in the high seventies for a week then you will get females. If you keep the heat at 90 degrees for a week, then you will have all males, I would say the week being 5 days. After that week, then you will need to put the temp. at a more nuteral temperature for the rest of the incubation period, so they aren't too cool or to hot. For example - if you left the temp. for male on 90 degrees past that week and for the rest of the incubation period, then you would wined up roasting the embrios. When done with sexing, then put the temp. done to about 80 degrees for the rest of the time.
Take the information as you will, good luck.
p.s. If this is her first time getting pregnant in her life, then it is said that sometimes the first clutch may not be viable, but still incubate to be safe and or candle the egg.
