I just noticed my green basilisks digging and and now she is in the process of laying eggs I saw one come out now she is digging more I dont know what to do I didnt even know she was pregnant how long do they lay eggs for and how so you care for them

Remove the clutch and place in a tupperware container with vermiculite as a substrate. The substrate should be at ratio 1:10 water to vermiculite by volume or 1:1 by weight. Bury eggs at least 75% into the substrate. Place the tupperware container in a high humidity incubator at a constant 83 degrees. You can make an high humidity incubator by placing a submersible aquarium heater in a few inches of water, in an old cooler or tank. Place the tupperware contain on bricks or some kind of platform so it is above the water. Place a slanted piece of glass or plastic over the eggs so that condensation will not drip on the eggs or into the substrate. You can also place some terrarium moss on top the eggs to further prevent moisture from hitting them. The moss should be kept slightly damp, do this by submersing it in water and then complete squeeze out all excess water. Humidity is key, but water droplets and excessive wetness is deadly, so avoid it at all cost, do spray the eggs as some suggest, good luck.
