i just looked at my female's belly and saw that 2 eggs were visible. I dont know when she will lay but my concern is that i wasnt prepared for this. Please answer these questions.
1. What material should i get for her to lay her eggs on?
And were can i find it?

2.I need to know a good site that shows me how to build a good home-made incubator.

3. I need to know were to get perilite.

4. and any other things that u may wish to say

Thnks a million

I use bed-a-beast in my geckos' moist hides for them to lay their eggs in.. I found mine at my local pet store, as for the perlite, i found that at frank's nursery, my local gardening store. as for the incubator, i am using albey's method of incubation, and seeing that my room stays pretty constant at 85 degrees, and i have a constant spot by one of my gecko tank basking lights at 90, so i just set the incubating eggs right there so i get some males.. hope i helped some..

Questions?Drop me a line

If she has not been in contact with a male then she is just gravid with infertile eggs...this sometimes happens. If this is the case, just throw them out. If she has been with a male, then you will need to build an incubator and laying box. I used Forest Bed bedding as a lay box medium and it has worked great for me. It comes in brick form and I got it at Petco for about 6 bucks. You can find Perlite at Home Depot or other garden stores. If you have a feed store near you then you can buy a little giant still air incubator for about 30-40 bucks...this is the easiest thing to do for a trustworthy incubator. If not, a shoebox with heat tape running under the whole bottom, on a VERY acurate thermostat will work as well. When the female starts digging in her laybox, that is the day she will lay. Good luck!!!!
