So last September I bought a pair of LG from a friend. Last month I was really surprised to see 2 eggs in the water bowl. It was laid early morning when i was still sleeping so upon seeing the eggs, I transfered it to a 2gal ice cream container with 1/2 deep vermiculite. The egg went bad so I threw it all away. After the incident I provided an open top rectangular microwavable container and put vermiculite on it. My tank has no moist hide BTW since I'm living in SEA with tropical climate. And now I think my LG is pregnant again. I have some questions if you don't mind me asking:
1. I'm planning to change to a cube shaped container with opening on the top lid to serve as moist hide AND lay box. Should i continue using vermiculite? Heard it's bad for the gecko? Also heard paper towel is not good for lay box. How about mosses?
2. How long exactly do vermiculite hold moisture? Do i have to re-spray water every week?
3. Will a simple ice cream container with vermiculite be enough to incubate the eggs? My friend is using the same method and is able to breed LGs. Or do i have to put the egg in a deli cup with vermiculite and put that deli cup inside a styrofoam box?
I'm living in a city where there's little to no access to exotic pet supplies. and i can't order in ebay or amazon since i don't have any cards.
