My son has found gecko eggs. Any advice on how to care while they hatch? Too many ants to put back.?

Question

We live in central qld, so geckos could be Asian or native.

Answer 1

When I was a child I found some skink eggs in my families garden and successfully hatched them in my house. I kept them in a small plastic take away container with some slightly moist dirt taken from the garden I found them in. I pierced some holes in the lid with a pin to allow some air movement but to prevent the eggs drying too much. From memory they hatched within a couple of weeks and I released the live young into the garden. Young lizards or geckos usually care for themselves. The fact that I moved the eggs into the box in my house and they still hatched for me prooves that you can move eggs and still have them hatch. Try to recreate conditions similar to where you found them. Good luck.

Answer 2

If they've been turned, they won't hatch. Unlike bird eggs, reptile eggs will die if turned. Assuming this hasn't happened, all I can suggest is to put them somewhere warm and somewhat humid. Without knowing specifically what kind of egg they are, there's no way to know specifically what temp and humidity range they would need. Perhaps if you went to your local library and looked up info on whatever types of lizards live around you......

Answer 5

I would take them to your zoo and give it to them and they can take care of them from there...
