How do I incubate Mediterranean gecko eggs?

BlueKing Apr 15, 2005 11:49 PM

Put them in vermiculite? I'm new to this, and had a Mediterranean gecko that laid two eggs. Do they need a lot of humidity (like my snake eggs do), or will they do okay in the dry air inside my house?
Thanks in advance!

Incubate them exactly the same way you do the snake eggs. Moistened vermiculite, temps about 80F.

Have your cage ready. You'll need something with fine screen and NO gaps, or maybe cloth over the top of it...they will be VERY TINY when they hatch...and very very fast, and strong. They can leap half a foot or more through the air, run up the walls and across the ceiling, and if there's a gap anywhere around the lid of their cage, they'll be gone. Critter keepers have slats too wide to contain them. Trust me, I found out the hard way, lol.
