Yes, they lay them against the side of the enclosure like tokays do. Not sure what fecunded means, I'm going to guess it means bred. They start to lay around 30-40 days after breeding.

I just left the eggs uncovered with my adults, I never changed the temperature or humidity in the cage and they hatched within 90-130 days. The adults would guard the eggs and when they hatched they were never harmed. Once they hatched I took them from the parents enclosure and raised them separately in small kritter keeper enclosures. I used paper towel substrate and a toilet paper roll as a hide. I also added a small philodendron. After a few days the hatchlings started feeding on mealworms and crickets.

They are great geckos and I wish I kept the hatchlings.

My experiences are very similar. I may add a few minor points: Newly introduced pairs may need a longer time before they start reproducing. 6 months to a year before finding the first eggs is not uncommon. But then, a single female can produce 5-6 clutches of -of course- two eggs per year. The eggs are surprisingly big. About 2/3 the size of tokay eggs and much bigger than eggs form the petricolus group.
Offspring can reach almost adult length in about 1 to 1.5 years but hardly reproduce before the age of 2.
