Question
I rescued an egg, butt I have no idea how our what to do.
We have it in a small box with eco dirt around it under a heat
lamp. What eles should I do?

Answer
Hi, I hope I can help you.  My expertise lies mainly with the Uromastyx lizard.  From my research I have found that gecko eggs need to be incubated at 85-88 constant for 90-120 days.  It should be in vermiculite, which is a soft soil mixed with perlite substance.  It is very hard to hatch these eggs but give it a try.  Visually check the egg to see if it has veins running through it.  If the eggs dries up, it is dead.  Good luck.  I hope this helps.
Thank you
