Today, as I was doing my critter care, I got to do some checking up on my boys. I call them my boys even though Puff (the magic dragon) is a girl, because when I got them, I was told they were both boys. However, about a month ago, Puff laid her first clutch of eggs, proving that she is indeed a girl. I've been noticing that she has gotten a little bit more plump lately, and checked her today, and new eggs are visible under her skin! It's been really cool to watch them grow, and to see them develop into adults. The first clutch of eggs is usually infertile, and I didn't know how to incubate them properly, but this time I am ready! Puff will lay her eggs and bury them under a mound of sand, and I will sift them out with my scooper to place in the little incubator I made. I have a little rubbermaid container that I poked holes in and will put a little bit of bedding in, along with a warm sea sponge for humidity. Then, if they make it, 6-12 weeks later I'll have baby geckos! If you have experience in this, I'd love to know your tips and tricks! I'm not set on more geckos, but would love to welcome them if I am able to get them to hatch.
Love and Blessings, AugustLee
