mourning geckos

Hey, just curious, is there a good way to remove Mourning Gecko eggs from the enclosure? Mine always lays on the lid or in the corners, and I'm not sure how to remove them, or at least how to protect them from escaping or being eaten when they hatch... any ideas?

They can't be removed unless on something removeable, but you can tape a small plastic cup over them, with ventilation holes, to prevent them eating the eggs.

The problem is that she always lays them in the corners of the enclosure, so I can't tape a cup over them. Any other ways to protect them when this happens?

Maybe use paper to create a barrier?

 

[crestedguy]

How so?

Take a stiff piece of paper and fold it and tape it at whatever angle you need to make a barrier. Be creative. Or, try putting paper along the places she usually lays so you can take the eggs out.
