well, if you have a mature male and female housed together in good conditions...they will breed and lay eggs. As eggs dont' need to be incubated in an incubator, as long as they don't dry out or get too cold or hot, they can incubate in normal room condition or the temperatures the adults are kept in. 70-85F.



Each female will lay typically two eggs every 3-4 weeks which will hatch in about 55-65 days I or there about.



Things to watch for..is making sure the female doesn't calcium crash...always a good idea to leave powdered calcium (phosphorous free) in a shadow dish in the cage. They will lick the powder if they feel a need to.



For babies, small Kritter keepers are fine..though crickets will escape form those easily. What I used to rear babies was a simple small Pasta Storage container I bought at the Dollarama. Paper towel on the bottom, one fake plant. Usually kept one or two babies in these containers. They are about 10" tall, 7" long and 4" wide. I just drill a few holes along the top for ventilation. To feed and water the babies, misted lightly each day, let a pop bottle cap filled with water and another with about 1/8th to 1/4 teaspoon of crested gecko diet. I rarely to never feed crickets. The geckos thrive quite well on the diet alone.
