heres the actual quote

Quote:

Eggs

A female Anole will bury or partially bury a fertile egg. If you see one on the surface of the substrate or in a water dish, on a leaf, etc. it is very likely infertile. Anoles, in captivity, will generally bury their eggs at the base of a plant or in the corner of the enclosure. Once again, unless you watch constantly, you will probably miss the actual burying of the egg. The best indication that she has produced an egg is a sudden weight loss around the middle. Often, though, the first indication that she has laid an egg is when you see a hatchling scampering around the enclosure!
Eggs can be incubated. All that is needed is a large deli dish or other plastic container and some Vermiculite. Fill the deli dish about ¾ full of Vermiculite and add enough water to make it nice and moist (a 1:14 ratio of Vermiculite to water is about right). Make a depression in the Vermiculite with your thumb. Place the egg in the depression taking care NOT to turn it from its original position. Cover it with Vermiculite. At a temperature of 85 degrees at 70% humidity, the egg will hatch in 35-40 days. Oh yes, make sure the deli dish has a cover and punch some small holes in it for ventilation. Make sure that the Vermiculite doesn’t dry out.

 What to do?

vermiculite is a natural mineral that expands and exfoliates w/ heat. it is perfect for insulating eggs
