How To Look After Gecko Eggs. If a gecko egg starts leaking early in the incubation period you can tear a tiny piece of paper towel to adhere to the spot. Of course if you find out that the main cause of molding was excessive humidity or material and egg contamination make sure that its new incubation container has been set for optimal embryo development.
On average when you incubate your crested geckos with a temperature between 72-75 o F they will hatch around three months. Place them horizontally and never move them afterwards as this can kill the embryo inside an egg. Turn on the flashlight and narrow the beam to a pinpoint and then gently position at the side and barely touching the surface of the egg.
After properly treating a mold-infected gecko egg make sure to isolate it from all the good eggs so you can better monitor it.
A mini MAG light works great and all you need is a room that gets dark--a bathroom or closet will do well or you can candle at night. Hold the egg in front of it and look for a red ring that can encompass 14-13 of the top of the egg. The substrate should be at least 3 inches 76 cm deep as geckos typically. All you need to do is open the lid about once a week.
