Well it depends did u breed the eggs or are they just the normal eggs females lay that arent fertilized? If they arent fertilized then theres no point in hatching them I’m not sure if theres babies inside if they aren’t fertilized... AND... if u did breed them u should have taken care of reseach MONTHS AGO!!!!
Sorry if this is offensive or if the info sn’t correct just tellin u what I know

Leopard.Gecko does have a point. Are the eggs fertilized or not? If they aren’t theirs no embryo, Meaning no baby inside. So theirs no point in incubating an infertile egg.

You should definitely get your hands on an incubator. Weather it’s homemade or a Hova Bator with a thermostat.

Egg substrate should be either vermiculite (with a 1:1 ratio of water) or perlite (with 1:8 ratio of water). Best way to measure it out is with a gram scale, 100 grams of water to very 100 grams of vermiculite. 80 grams of water to every 100 grams of perlite.

You should keep the eggs in a container with your substrate on the hot side of tank until you get the incubator running. Make sure they lid of the container is completely seal, and the female can not make any contact with the egg. And make sure your heat house is no higher then 90. Also, keep heat on 24/7.

If your using a heat lamp, The lamp might dry out of eggs. I’m not sure. I’m want to get a second opinion.

Again, you need that incubator ASAP.

P.s: If you haven’t done any research on breeding, and / or are not prepare to house/feed/heat/ and care for 16+ babies. I do not recommend you incubate the eggs.

Freezing them will kill the embryo.

I agree with what the previous posts have said. The reason I did not reply to this post earlier is because there is just soo much i would need to tell you. There are probably 20 or 30 posts under this one where there are similar questions. Scroll down and read some of the replies and that should help. Again, research. If you bred for these eggs and dont know anything until the eggs came then its a real shame...if you got your female from a shop and she came with eggs then I would suggest freezing them because I dont think you re ready for 10+ babies. If these eggs just came from your female for no reason since shes never seen a male then just throw them out.
Goodluck

I’m not sure about perlite. I use vermiculite for the lay box and incubation. You can also use coco fiber, peat moss, spahmum moss (excuse the spelling). I can’t think of anything else off the top of my head.
