Teratoscincus scincus keyserlingii eggs

Giant Frog Eye Gecko (Teratoscincus scincus keyserlingii) eggs.

I hadn't paired them up in 3 years since there's not much demand for them, but this year I've had a few people ask for some, so I decided to try it again. There are 3 girls, the last one is still digging. The shells are so fragile, I just hope there aren't any hairline cracks, but I didn't see any.

They're not only cute, but so nosy. They're constantly up against the glass to see what I'm doing in the room. And they drive the cats nuts while digging and throwing sand around.

They're not the kind you can handle, but they more than make up for it with personality and easy care.

Nice toes

There are 4 more clutches, looking good so far, but it's still a long ways to go before the first ones hatch.
I can't help but feel sorry for the girls when they're close to laying. The eggs are huge, they must be really uncomfortable.

Hi ya,
Best of luck with your eggs. One of my favorite gecko's.
This is my first year with the keyserlingi's. I was'nt going to breed them this year. But a while back my female dropped a clutch of eggs. Since then, i put my pair together and she is now looking very plump again so possibly another clutch on the way.
Whats the best way to incubate these eggs please?Temp/duration. Is it, eggs on dry sand, placed in a tub with humidity?
My pair are on a previous thread with a good range of colouring so looking forward to some stunning babies.
Big thanx for any pointers.

I incubate them on dry sand, no extra humidity. The eggs are lightly covered with sand, and the hatchlings make it to the top, no problem. They're quite big at hatching, and seem rather strong, so make sure you have a secure lid on the container, or they'll be sitting in the incubator waiting to greet you.
The temperature is around 83-85°F and takes around 120 days.

They're quite big when they hatch, and ready to take on just about anything life throws at them. There's nothing wimpy about them, they're tough and stand their ground, right from day one.
This one is from a few years ago, gives you an idea of the hatchling size and colour.

Cool little baby. My female looks like she'll pop anytime now. Can't wait
