I know maybe its not good place to ask,but incuding all my geckos i have 2 of calotes lizards,the thing is that female layed 8 good & healthy eggs!
I transfered them into the dish with some soil in it,because i could't find vermicolite, i searched for 2 mounts and nothing,because i live at Thailand now,and they don't use it!

in incubator temp is always about 28 degrees Celsius,i have a bulb inside that can provide to 35!
Humidity is 90-94% all the time!
i spray bit of water daily,around the walls and a little bit at soil!
do you think that is ok to leave the eggs in the soil,or i should replace the soil with something else,and do you think conditions in incubator are ok for the eggs!
if you have any advice,plz let me know!

Video of the eggs laying is here,and also dish with the eggs and incubator!

Thank you very much!

I know nothing about this species, but if you can reproduce in the incubator the humidity and temperature of incubation in the wild you should be successful. I googled a bit and didn't find much that was helpful.

I think i own you guys something...:)

She layed eggs at april 22 and first hatching was jun 13th!!
I incubated them at 28-30 degrees in home made incubator!
I didn't found vermicolite so i just used a soil,bury the eggs 1cm,and sprayed with water every day!
during last mount i used a 10wats bulb to increase the heat for an hour or so in every few days!

and at the end!!
