Gecko eggs, what do I do?

[xAshx]

Hi Guys,

I recently bought myself a couple of thicktail geckos.. The female was gravid when I bought her. She has just laid 2 eggs, and Im not sure what I should do with them. I have asked the guys at both herp shops and have had conflicting opinions which just confused me.. Whilst I have no intentions of being a 'breeder' as such. Id like to give them a go. So what I have been told by 2 different herp guys is

a) leave them in the enclosure and dont even touch them and they will be fine
b) take them out straight away and get them into an incubator (but he couldnt tell me what temp)...

So what do I do? I am set up for either option.. If I leave them in the enclosure is it safe to pick them up and move them to a safer part of the enclsoure? She has just randomly dropped them in seperate spots.

Any advice would be really appreciated.

Cheers
Ash

Incubate them. They will dry out in the enclosure.
Get some perlite from bunnings and half fill a sealed tupperware container with it. Add water at a ratio of 1:1 by weight. (eg if the perlite weighs 20 grams, add 20 grams of water)
I incubate mine at 28-29C but even at warm room temp they will hatch, it will just take longer.

Thankyou! Off to bunnings I go!
