Hello all....my newly acquired viper geckos had a surprise for me this morning! So far I can see one egg perched nicely in one of the hides. I have plugged in my hovabator and am now looking for some advice. Have not had any geckos drop eggs before, so am kinda new to this! Any advice on incubation temps? Also, should I transfer the egg to a deli cup with 1:1 vermiculite:water? and finally, should I use a deli cup with hole like the ones we all see the geckos in at shows, or a sealed one? Thanks in advance for your advice!

I'd mix my vermiculite wet and then squeezed dry until there is little water left. 1:1 is to wet. Secondly if the eggs appear to be a hard shell type I'd set them in a bottle cap with some sand then set them in the vermiculite. I'd run temps @ 83-85 and then look for the little pink glow in a few days...Good luck I had 8 vipers and all died within a month of each other. nothing changed just up and croaked so good luck!
