 How to Move eggs and Carpet troubles

Hi i am new to breeding leopard geckos and i was wondering how u move them from the hidebox to the incubater. I hear that the eggs are fragile and that you don’t want to move them to diffrent angles or move it upside down. Do you just lift them up with ur fingers? Do you use a spoon and scoop under the vermiculite?

I was also wondering what are some problems with reptile carpet. I bought Flukers(at least i think it was flukers...)reptile carpet recently and what starting to wonder if it is ok because of all the things that are out that hazardous for lizards because of impaction(i.e sand, calcium sand, bark chips etc.). I don’t want to go to check my lizard some day and find him dead because he ate the carpet...


Any Help is much Appreciated

From,
Robert

i would use a spoon to remove the eggs and the carpet is fine for the leos.

I moved all my eggs by picking them up very gently with my fingers and have not had a problem that way. The carpet should be fine as long as there are no loose strands or pieces coming off.

carpet works well. i flip it over and use the smooth side so that their claws and teeth don’t get stuck.

I used my fingers to move the eggs. do not rotate the eggs on their longitudinal axis. they can handle slight shifting, just don’t roll them.
