Should be incubated in vermiculite. The vermiculite should be damp enough that it clumps and wet enough that only a drop or two of water will fall if squeezed. Look for another egg, most times they ay 2, but if this is her first time laying, then there may only be one.

Here is a good site on how to make a makeshift incubator. Temp can be between 83-88 degrees (83 giving all girls, 85 giving mix, and 88 giving all boys).

Good luck

They are plastic conatainers, maybe something you would store shoes in a closet . Tupper ware containers work well.

I’m guessing you keep a male and female Leo together? You may want to separate them. :-)
