Ok i just relized one of my females is pregnant with one egg and it looks like shes gonna lay it soon... I need to know how to make a incubator for it. Can anyone help??

I use a hovabator so i can't help on building one, but if you do a search in the breeding/incubation forum i'm sure you will find a thread on how to build one.

Here's a link to one made with a quick search on incubators

Leopard geckos are fairly easy to incubate, especially if you aren't trying for a specific gender, and you are only doing a few eggs.

Basically: a foam cooler, filled about 1/3 with water and an aquarium heater. Put a few bricks in the bottom, and set a critter keeper or small rubbermaid with a couple holes in it with moist vermiculute as substrate on them.

Get a digital thermometer with a probe, and make sure you take the temperature of the substarte, and not the air. Then play with the aquarium heater temperature until you get the desired incubation temp. (usually around 84 is a safe bet).

I have done one with a styrofoam box, some small clay pot, submersible aquarium heater , a plastic sheet and digital themometer.

you put your heater laying in the botton, you place small clay pot
around it, you add water up to 1/2 a inch under the top of the clay pot
you put your plastic sheet over them, then you had
you vermiculite/egg bin container over the plastic sheet
you put the thermometer probe in the plastic bin that have egg
and you monitor the temp!
80-82F = female, 88-90 = male, anything between is both male and female!

hope it help
