First Eggs of 2010

Last week I determined that my RAPTOR female was gravid. Her belly was big and I could see 2 eggs. I put her back together with Henry, the RAPTOR male. They had been together for a week in early January.

After making sure the egg-laying hide (lay box) had sufficient moist coconut fiber, I turned the incubator on.

Sunday night Lemon Drop was in the lay box digging. But Monday morning she was out walking around. I removed the lay box and carefully dug around finding 2 nice white eggs.

Set up a fresh Rubber Maid container with 60 grams of pearlite and 48 grams of water (1:0.8 ratio by weight). This is the leopard gecko incubation method recommended by Albey. Placed the eggs in and put in the incubator at ~82 degrees.

Hopefully they are fertile and there will be 2 beautiful RAPTOR hatchlings in 7-8 weeks.
