Well what you can do is first of make sure the medium is nice and moist. Moist enough so it won't dry that much in a few days. Then situate the nesting box near your heat source so that the temp inside it is right at about what you want to incubate the eggs at. I would also remove any other leopards for the time being so they don't disturb the eggs after she lays. You can also try sealing off the enclosure so you don't loose too much moisture to evaporation. Hope this gives you some ideas and helps out.

Hi

Could you make out a good list on how to take care of your geckos and what to do with the eggs and have a friend come in and take care of your geckos for you?.

Take Care, TLB
