WHat should I expect when the eggs hatch? What do I need for the geckos like housing, decor, heating, etc?

Please don't tell me you've already bred these animals and you don't even know what to do or how to care for them once they've hatched? These are things you should think of way before you start breeding :(

Just keep them warm, heat them the same as you would an adult. Make sure they have appropriately sized food (pinhead crickets, tiny meal worms) and most importantly, make sure they have proper supplements to help them grow strong. Paper towel bottom or reptile carpet should be ok. Absolutely no sand!

Mealworms are a huge no-no?? I think you may have been responding to him as if he was speaking of Leopard Geckos? ;)

@jmrisnear
I really don't know anything other than the basics and I only know the basics because what I've read.
Someone else will definitely help you! :)

yeah, I'll have to second the ban on mealworms. gutloaded pinhead crickets or very tiny roach nymphs are appropriate bugs, and also prepared diet if you want to go that route. just make sure your supplementation and gut-loading are correct (there are reams of information about this in the nutrition subforum; I'd recommend grabbing a cup of coffee and spending some time reading through what's been posted).

I agree with Aimless. CGD and small roaches. And do some research fast before they hatch and Aimless and I have to come rescue them :)

speak for yourself, lol - I'm done adding cresties. the 6 I have are enough for me :)

my next gecko additions will hopefully be a pair of B boivini this fall/winter, but that's OT...
