Hey, i was cleaning out my grandmothers barn and i found 2 small eggs about the size of a jelly bean just layin on a shelf and they looked like they were still good. but when we were trying to figure out what they were we broke one on accident but i still have the other one and i was wondering what they are. I saw a tan color gecko earlier crawlin around and it was the color of desert camflouge which is weird becuase i live in southeast louisiana and you dont see geckos like that and i thought maybe thats what the eggs are from? or is it snake eggs? right now i have it inside a small glass jar with grass at the bottom and a moist paper towl on the bottom with a small night light about 5 inches away. is that a good incubator for the egg? i think its doing fine but im not sure. any information on getting it to hatch would be great because i would love to know what it is.
Thanks,
Keith

oh and p.s. i could send some pictures to you of the egg or whatever my email address is kar6886@aol.com

wow, that is really cool. I would just keep them slightly moist just kinda humid air. Take the grass out it may mold or something. Hard to tell what they are probally lizzard eggs more than a snake I would say. Hope for the best I will more than likely hatch at a bit over room temp if it is fertile. Good Luck If ya don't mind e-mail me a pic just for the sake of curiosity.

Even if your on the right track you will get run over if you just sit there

ok, and also would it be alright to have like a spray bottle or something to kinda spray on the egg to keep it moist?

No, don't spray it with water.

Is it possible for you to just put it back where you found it? A wild gecko instinctively knows what the best egg-laying environment is, and I don't see the reason for removing them from their nest, seeing how you broke one already and don't know what you're doing.
