Blue Belly Lizard eggs

Question
I found a blue belly lizard in our pool last week and pulled it out and put in a little terrarium for the kids to look at for the day.  They wanted to try feeding it - so we put a couple small meal worms in the cage and it ate them immediately. I didnt plan to keep it since they typically dont do well in captivity and often wont eat.  This one eats like crazy! I was planning to let it go on Saturday, but woke up and found 7 eggs in the tank today. I have no idea what to do now.  How do we care for the eggs, do they need to be moist, buried, what temp? I am afraid to move them, but they are just sitting on the little layer of dirt we had put in there and starting to get wrinkled a bit. Please help with how to move them back outside if we should do that, or how to care for them if we have to leave them where they are.  Will she want to be near them or can we let her go still?  I feel so bad!


Answer
In this case, since it is a native, she has laid her eggs and done her job.  She can be released.  If the tank is the same as your outdoor temperature and humidity, the eggs should do fine, and when the babies hatch, they also can be released in a secluded area of your property.
