New Leopard Gecko

[Catherine]

Well done on the incubator. You are very handy when it comes to building things. If you run it a week you should have a sense of how well it is holding temperature and humidity. Most of the humidity comes from the damp peat moss that the eggs as sitting on and from the damp sphagnum moss on top of them. The lid on the egg boxes holds the moisture in. Reptile eggs are prone to molding and that is fatal to them. I always wash really well before I handle the snake eggs. Peat moss and sphagnum moss are good at inhibiting mold.

It would be great if Kate was pregnant. She probably likes her nest box just fine, but they don't feel the urge to nest until they are ready to lay eggs. Just before egg laying you might see the bulges of the eggs inside her.
Keep me posted.
