After laying on top of her humid hide/lay box for about 24 hours, my Bell Albino, Bella crawled inside last night. This morning there were 2 eggs in the coconut fiber. Since I wasn’t really expecting to have eggs so soon I don’t have an incubator. You see, I purchased this female a week and a half ago at a Reptile Expo and didn’t know what I was getting.
It is still unclear if she had been with a male, or if these eggs are infertile duds. I guess I will find out in about 8 weeks.
I followed the directions on incubating leopard gecko eggs at Albey’s site. I wired up a six inch piece of heat tape that I had and put a tile square on it to get a more even heat and plugged it into the thermostat that regulates my gecko rack. It took a little playing around but I have the temperature between 82-84 degrees F.
Poor Bella was only about 40g with the eggs and now is only 32g. I tried to get her to eat tonight but she seems like she would rather rest.
