unless the eggs are green and moldy, incubate them. I've written
off eggs before and had them hatch. I've learned over the years to
leave them in the incubator and let nature take it's course. I've
always removed moldy eggs though. Don't want it to spread to the
other eggs. Good luck, keep us posted on their progress.

Ive put the female in with my other male for now to give him a shot
too as soon as i can get off my arse ill put some pics up on a site
currently i have the eggs in a box of moist vermiculite in the gecko
tank at an area of fixed temperature of 28C (82 f)im after females
and i am rapidly DIYing an incubator this weekend if anyone has any
tips it would be appreciated. To be honest i only got my geckos as
babies the middle of last year didnt expect them to lay so soon.
seems i got shafted by the pet shop as i planned for 2 females and a
male and got 2 males and a female (sexed them myself)
my breeding stock is
Normal marked female
albino male
leucistic male

the leu and normal are the proud bearers of my 2 eggs i really hope
they hatch


I have two tanks of fat tailed geckos - two females and one male in
each - and they produce eggs regularly - but like yours, mine are
always dimpled and eventually, they always collapse or implode - no
matter how i care for them. I have tried damp sand, vermiuculite,
spagnam moss and a mix of all the above! Not once in the last year have
I had any success.
My incubator is a polystyrene box that a pet sho had a fish tank
delivered in - with a styrene lid. In side I have a hea mat and stat
and a cake rack to keep the tubs of moss / sand etc off the het source.
I set my temp to 86f.
I will be interested to see how you get on.
