Hello! My first post so wasn’t sure where it should go. I have a pair of Scorpion tailed geckos, Pristurus carteri. My female has started laying eggs in an area I specifically created with the depth of substrate for laying so I could find the eggs however for the second time carefully sifting through I damaged the egg. Does anyone successfully hatch eggs in the vivarium as thinking I may just do that if there is no risk of predation on the young. My concern was being able to control the humidity if I reared separately as I usually just lightly mist the substrate. Thanks for any guidance!

You ARE welcome!
I'm also working on moving several misplaced P carteri threads to "Other Day Geckos".

In case you haven't found these particular Sphaerodactylus threads, here they are. The first link includes an AWESOME video by German Pristurus breeder Thomas Ackermann! He's on facebook.

It "seems like" you could incubate these eggs in a bottle cap that sits on top of hydrotom or seramis, but seramis is generally a European thing. The substrate you keep your pair on may be suitable to keep that bottle cap on too. ???
IF you discover a good way, kindly update this thread.
