Crested gecko: found eggs.

[cookie]

I just found two bright white eggs in my Crested gecko cage. the laid them in a potted plants soil. my room stays about 70-75. should i leave them their or move them in to some SuperHatch?

The funny part is, I don't have a male crested gecko to get her pregnant.

If she's never been with a male, the eggs are infertile (barring the very unlikely chance of parthenogenesis). If you're already set up to incubate, go ahead though you probably won't get anything. Otherwise, don't bother.

When i bought her she was with a male. And the timing is right from when i bought her. I held the egg against a flash light and their pink on the inside. Their nice and firm with a white shell. I put the in super hach today and set the incubate so well see what happens.

Good luck!

for incubate the crested eggs, it's just work sometime on vivarium, i prefer to put them in my incubator with 28°celsius on humus of coconut (it kill mushrooms)

That's a bit on the high side for crested eggs. 28°C / 82°F would be pushing the maximum high temperature. The eggs develop so fast that there's a really good chance of deformities, weak and small hatchlings.

The most common temperature range used is in the 21° - 24°C / 70-75°F. I keep them even cooler - 18.5 - 20°C / 65 -68°F. It takes much longer for them to hatch, but the hatchlings are much stronger and bigger, makes them easier to care for.

I keep mine in drier vermiculite than for let's say a Leo. At room temp in my closet. Temps are 70-74.f in my house year round.

I have the temp at a steady 70-75* what should I have the humidity?

I also have the eggs in superhach in the tank with her in a container.

Too high of humidity will cause them to mold. Like I said my vermiculite is relatively dry. It's not moist enough to clump but you can feel moisture. That a very broad description sorry. I keep them in a sealed container, At room temp. They should do great the way your keeping them. If you want I can get a humidity reading At home.

The container is not sealed so what should the humitiy be?

 

[thehotchik1000]

I can't find anything on the exact humidity. I've never paid attention to that. Ive always kept them at 70.f slightly moist sub and sealed container. Look at this link. They have a great explanation on incubation and theres no indication on exact humidity: http://www.pangeareptile.com/store/crested-gecko-care-sheet-en.html

They don't need high incubation temps so high humidity isn't necessary the eggs won't dry out unless the sub is completely dry. Use a sealed container, your temps are great, and open the container every week. 90 days you'll have babies.

Great! Thanks for all your help

I'll let you know about the change if their is any.

Why the sealed container? In that caresheet it shows a container with a hole cut out top?

 

[thehotchik1000]

That is the lay Bin. The sealed container helps hold what little humidity they need. I use relatively dryer vermiculite compared to my beardy and ball and Leo eggs. So sealed containers help humidity and keep the babies from escaping after hatching.

I found these weird she'll likes things in my tank there is a yellow powder like substance in one I didn't slit them I think they are eggs but these are my first geckos this is one

 

[Seth9999]

Dried out eggs. If you keep male and female together they will bread. Be prepared put lay box in. She'll need it. It's best keep males and females separate, unless want bread them. Really only for short time should they be togther. Good luck

Females lay infertile eggs like that egg, too.
