Hi Everyone,
I'm a newbie to the site, and am really glad to have found you! My son (7) has caught an alligator lizard which has just laid 8 eggs (so far). Based on some of the earlier posts, I've put them in a plastic container of moist soil, but am concerned about having turned the eggs. I notice that each egg has a side that appears to be red (inside the egg). Is that the embryo side? Should this side be facing the top of the container or the dirt?
