Came home the other day to find some eggs, unfortunately they are stuck together, but I don't know what effect this has on embryo development (guessing not good because decreased surface area). I have had some conflicting advice regarding incubation medium. I have put them into damp vermiculite (when squeezed no water trickles out) and a lid on top, but have also been told that some put the eggs into a small container of dry vermiculite on top of the damp vermiculite with a lid on top of the container with the damp vermiculite.

Any advice as to which method people have found best?

P.S. thanks for the great geckos scott, can't believe my luck having ended up with a boy and a girl, both so beautiful too!

Hi Kat, that's great news on a 1.1, lucky you!

As for the eggs, sounds like you have set them up fine. Fingers crossed they hatch for you. You should expect some more eggs in 20 - 30 days.
