Question
i have a pregnant jacky lizard and i don't have any idea what to do what do i have to do 4 her?

and what temperature do i need the terrarium to be at?  

Answer
Hello Reece,

How old is your jacky lizard, can you post a picture of her for me?  We don't have them over here in the US.  
All of my sources are saying the best incubation temperatures are 28-30C.  I would keep it closer to the 28 just so they don't get too hot.  Do you have an incubator?  The humidity should be kept around 80% also to avoid the eggs drying out.

Do you have a basking light?  Is it a bright white light?  Do you have a UVB light as well?
The basking temperature can run around a range of 26-30C but they "can" handle a higher temperature of 35-40C, but they don't stay at those temps for very long so it is preferred to keep it a lower temperature.  The ambient temperature of the tank should be around 24C or so.
