Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I decided to seek help in the chuck forum because it's a whole lot busier than the gecko forum and I don't have time to wait a week or two before someone possibly posting a reply.

I just found 2 freshly laid Tucson banded gecko eggs in their tank, and I'm going on vacation Wednesday. I am thinking of handing over the eggs in a deli cup of moist substrate to my local pet shop manager to "babysit" and add a bit of water when required to keep it moist but not wet.

Any suggestions???? Thanks.

Hi there,
I don't much about the care for the banded gecko eggs, but I was able to dig this up. Hope it helps.

Remove the eggs to a simple incubator or at least a separate container where they can be maintained at 80 to 85 degrees and at least 80-percent humidity. Complicated incubators are not necessary; you can keep the banded gecko eggs on a moist vermiculite layer in a small plastic container. Place the container inside a larger tank sitting on an undertank heater adjusted to maintain the proper temperature. Add water to the vermiculite from the sides of the container; don’t directly wet the eggs, which should be half-buried in the substrate.

Why, do you think, the gecko forum is dead or unresponsive?

Good luck.

Actually, yes--the Gecko forum is pretty dead. The last 3 posts were July 17, August 2, and then August 24.
