Hi my name is Kacper im from poland. My english is not too good. I have a problem with leopard gecko eggs. my female laying eggs 25.06.2018 these are her 3 and 4 eggs, the first two were bad. these eggs have a red ring visible without a flashlight. Today, 26/06/2018, the eggs have dropped slightly


25.06.2018


and now 26.06.2018


temp.30*C

 

[Leos1234]

Temp seems good, how’s the humidity?

 

[dagerron]

unfortunately I do not have a hygrometer, but the substrate is well moisturized, according to my opinion, whether humidity can be the cause

 

[Leos1234]

What incubation substrate are you using?
You really should get a hydrometer
Check them with a flashlight just to be sure their fertile

 

[dagerron]

this eggs have a one day











i have a vermiculite

 

[Leos1234]

What incubator are you using?
I’d say make the humidity a bit higher and get a hydrometer to see if the humidity is in check.
Don’t give up on the eggs even if they carry on denting a little more they still might hatch.

 

[dagerron]

i use a dry incubator, ok i will buy a hygrometer quickly.
why see a red ring without a flashlight? weak shell?

 

[Leos1234]

I don’t think so but it has been known to see a red ring a few days after laying so it shouldn’t be a problem

 

[dagerron]

this ring was visible without a flashlight yesterday, about an hour after laying the egg.

 

[Leos1234]

If the geckos you bred weren’t supplemented with enough calcium and d3 it might make the egg a bit weaker and the hatching might have some problems. But the eggs in this case seem fine i wouldn’t worry.

 

[dagerron]

my geckos get calcium every three days and vitamins twice a week

 

[Debbie1962]

They could be drying out. Get some sphagnum moss, dampen it and place over the eggs. Until you can get some you can use some damp kitchen towel.

 

[Leos1234]

You may want to give your geckos more calcium. Do you leave a lid with calcium in their tanks?

 

[dagerron]

leos1234 yes he has a separate container with calcium.
I have eggs in a container with vermiculite I moistened it a bit more. The container is in a refrigerator which is an incubator

[Leos1234]

Ok then everything seems good, just keep an eye on the temp and humidity and you should be fine. Keep me updated on the eggs i’d love to know when they hatch. Anything else I can help you with?

 

[dagerron]

no thx for help me bro
I have a question for debbie 1962, do I really have to take the incubator eggs out of the wet kitchen paper? how long to keep them there. Does not hurt them

 

[Debbie1962]

Just place some damp kitchen towel over the top of the eggs. There is no need to move the eggs at all. If the eggs begin to plump out then you can take the kitchen towel off. It will not hurt the eggs as long as the kitchen towel is not too wet. Dampen the towel and squeeze excess moisture out of it with your hands. Hope that helps.

 

[dagerron]

ok, I put a damp paper on eggs, see if it works, thank you for help

 

[Debbie1962]

Your welcome. Good luck.

Hello, it's me again. Eggs from the post are growing. You can see the movements of the gecko. My question is how long it takes to incubate at 30 ° C, 86 ° F. Thank you very much in advance.
