[@harmbe4256]

Finally Someone Who gives A simple and understandable Tutorial

[@huntermanley8712]

Harmb e Thanks for watching :)

[@darkvoid4129]

why it like this

[@mirandad245]

i love his ball python tattoo

[@huntermanley8712]

miranda J Thank you :)

[@papapear1643]

Imagine all of those mealworms falling in the ground

[@blkdrgncap]

What are your methods for keeping the vermiculite from drying out?

[@huntermanley8712]

I check weekly how moist it looks, and I put little dishes of water in the incubator (same container as the egg cups) to help keep the humidity levels up.

[@varanusx5712]

Old video but. Holy shit I have to have a can of dip in every part of my house and I’ve never thought of using them for this thank you for accidentally teaching me this!!

[@GeekyGeckoCreations]

when u staCK the eggs the hole doesnt get blocked?

[@LifeAsBobby]

My gecko just laid her eggs and Buried her eggs in the eco earth where the heat from the heat lamp hits at night. Now I was told to just leave them and don’t touch them. Will anything happen to them if I leave them?

[@adventurouskritter5200]

Love the grizzly cans lol thanks for the idea

[@GeekyGeckoCreations]

thanks for sharing!

[@Obsessed_Collector]

So I have had no problems with eggs until now. My lepards are laying dry deflated eggs. I've tried changing the lay box parameters and it's still happening this season. Any recommendations?

[@drdurag5557]

Anyone now any equipment needed , cause my gecko laid eggs but I don’t know the equipment necessary to hatch it

[@lilianadoan4503]

Can I temporarily use coco peat as substrate for incubator because that is all I have right now and my gecko just laid eggs

[@vanguardlv]

I have the same morph of gecko that was shown at the very beginning.

[@deancoppens9104]

vanguardlv what morph is that please I have one too

[@maxie1199]

Dean Coppens looks like a super hypo tangerine carrot tail baldy, or SHTCTB for short

[@tygzly]

My geckos laid eggs in wet substrate and so the dirt is sticking to the eggs. Is that a problem? Will it make the molding or not grow properly?

[@michaelfuentes3037]

Did any one else see the cans of winter green in the tubs :)

[@ARainbowInTheDark]

Where do you get those cups from? If you don't mind me asking. I've been debating about what cups to use to incubate and I believe this will work well for me.

[@isaaccoleman8739]

What do you put the vermiculite in what are those called

[@vengfulgh0st975]

thx men now I know what to do

[@aryiahashemi]

My female layed a egg about last night. I dont have a incubator is there a way to keep the egg alive without it? I have many fish tanks that create alot of humility can i set up a heat light or something around that area?

[@MarioTran2307]

Should the eggs be placed on an incubation tray or placed directly on the incubation ground? How should moisture spray during incubation? Thks

[@ItsKen]

Why did you keep saying female incubator, is it just because it is set for the female temperature or is it specifically meant for females?

[@mahmoodgaming1265]

Love this video!! Planning to breed my female! Lol you deserve more subscribers lol

[@huntermanley8712]

Mahmood Gaming Thank you for the kind words. Good luck! :)

[@Hicks_echos401]

Way back video, goodstuff

[@tlaura1132]

were did u buy that incubator and how much did it cost

[@manleygeckos238]

We purchased all of our incubators at LLLReptile.com. The fridge style one was $129.

[@samisteinle100]

Hey I was wondering if your incubators are still working or did they stop working? Thanks.

[@tlaura1132]

nice im saving up for one now lol

[@manleygeckos238]

Nice! We are glad we could inspire you.

[@shawnmarringer5004]

i like the dip cans

[@age.of.reptiles7925]

great videos love them please try to make alot lol

[@manleygeckos238]

Thanks a ton! We will make more videos as soon as possible. (:

[@moved1885]

This was a very well-informative and helpful video! Thank you! Cleaning out a spot in a friend's yard, we found a little mediterranean gecko egg, and want to try and see if we can save it.

[@trey5285]

So you have 3 incubators a male a female and the warmer one? Or is the male incubator the warmer one?

[@1fitzer1]

Do you add any moisture during the incubation period or once its in you leave it alone thanks

[@exoticpetkeeper346]

Can I use cocopeat as an incubation medium?

[@daniellenoble8715]

Is there a certain amount of water u have to mix with vermiculite ??

[@huntermanley8712]

MOD for Life I use enough water where the vermiculite clumps when you squeeze it but very minimal to no water drips from the clump. There is a ratio but I forgot sorry. I think it may be 1:1 by amount not weight but I could be wrong.

[@jcexotic2380]

Does it have to stay that moist until it hatches or will the moisture be locked in to where you do not needto mess with humidity?

[@kylat.35]

@@huntermanley8712 by weight not volume. 1:1 ratio

[@deancoppens9104]

could someone please tell me what morph the orange leopard is that keeps passing by on screen? I have one just like that and the store couldn't give me any information about him... I suspect its a baldy?

[@katrinamartinez5689]

What should I do if my leopard geckos eggs don’t plump back up even if they are fertile

[@brandibryant7383]

I lost three babies they were fully developed and started to hatch but kept dying in the egg and didn't hatch out anyone know why someone told me to lower the temp because their developing too fast is this true

[@rogames313]

Brandi Bryant what was the temperature of the incubator? Over 90 lower it to about 85

[@dejaburney3096]

If you don’t have a Incubator , what can I use

[@octavio801]

do you transfer the females to the hotter incubator just like that or do you slowly raise the temperature?

[@billbrig2445]

Hi my gecko egg keeps on denting and indenting the temp is 79 to 83 degrees what does this mean it glows pink and orange is that ok it is 2 weeks the other is full but glows orange

[@Chunkylurker]

why can't you just raise the fridge incubator temp after 3c wks instead of switching? i missed it.

[@JonnieVamp]

You mention slowly moving eggs over to the Male incubator and raising the temp to increase color after 2-3 wks... How do you go about slowly switching them from the F to M incubator after a few weeks if you've got eggs in the male incubator already set at 89? Is it ok to take their incubation cup out so it's like room temp, put in the eggs and then set them back in the incubator to reach 89 or does it need to be more gradual somehow?

[@huntermanley8712]

JonnieVamp It's safe to move them from 82 to 89 right away, but just to be safe I now have an incubator at 85 , so after two weeks I put them in the 85 degree incubator for one week, then the rest of the time in the 89 one.

[@Cracka4u2nv]

Where did you get those awesome shelves and containers? Please need to know.

[@victoriahunter3569]

where did you get your incubator? or could you recommend some?

[@rebeccakeen836]

Have a question, I have a similar incubator that I just bought like the one in your video. I noticed you said for Female to set temp at 81, but looking at the video it shows 86, can you please explain? Thank you!

[@vinnieholmquist7732]

Setting it a little higher ensures the temp INSIDE the egg incubation container stays between 79-82 :) Depends on the incubator brand, may have to play around with temps a little bit.

[@coolcool4730]

Ok can you tell me if I get a Tupperware with moisturized substrate with a heat mat at 82 would it still work as a incubator

[@cheekable1]

Do you have the Styrofoam incubator plugging into a thermostat?

[@matthewlu150]

Thank you for the video. Great info given. What heating system do you use on your shelves?

[@huntermanley8712]

greg king We use 3 inch flex watt heat tape controlled by a Helix Thermostat kept at 90 degrees.

[@ashtonadams143]

What kind of incubators do you use?

[@earlsreptiles1276]

Thank you I'm a KZbinr bout to start doing that

[@rapidhockles]

Great videos. Keep them up. What do you do with the hatchlings? Do you sell them?

[@manleygeckos238]

+rapidhockles Thanks! We keep most of our hatchlings to breed again but we occasionally sell a few at local reptile shows.

[@leslie417]

Where did you buy your incubator please????

[@joelvanschalkwyk931]

so do you need an incubator, or can I just buy an Egg tray by THG , fill it with hatchrite and out ii in a warm spot? Thx Joel

[@coolcool4730]

Joel van Schalkwyk use a Tupperware with eco earth that's moist and have a heat mat under it, boom homemade incubator

[@billbrig2445]

Hi I have a gecko egg it is at 2 weeks and has suddenly become squishy is there anything I should do plz reply

[@Stxr87]

They take anywhere from 30ish - 80 days to hatch so yours may be getting ready to hatch ! Check for mold, make sure it’s moist and warm. Make sure it’s actually fertile as well.

[@TaylorNbale]

what type of incubator do you use?

[@austinwilliams9880]

Can you tell me what incubators you used

[@buckfield_outdoors418]

So when u put the eggs in, do u have to moist up the vermiculite every once in a while or is it good the entire time

[@huntermanley8712]

GreatGiftedGeckos Should be good the entire time, I keep water trays in the incubator as well to help the humidity levels, I prefer an 80% humidity level. I always check egg cups every other week.

[@buckfield_outdoors418]

Hunter Manley ight thx for the help and nice video btw

[@zhendharlaroy1103]

can u use coconut fiber to incubate the eggs?

[@huntermanley8712]

It has been done yes, but it dries up quickly and when dry can pull moisture from the eggs and dent them fast. Vermiculite and Perlite seem to work the best. Both can be found at your local hardware or gardening store. :)

[@robinh5011]

A good tutorial thank you! So I got a female gecko accidentally which wasn't the point. So she's pregnant. I don't have an incubator and the ones I've seen are really expensive for one time and I'm not planning to breed since this was an accident Now I've heard that if I keep them in a good temperature I don't need an incubator I can also do them in a separate vibarium with a constant heat I'm not sure what to do if the eggs have hatched. How long they have to stay away from their mother or that I have to put them back with her. Also my male doesn't want to eat, refuses to is a better word and his tail is getting slimmer. Is this normal? The rest of the body is still the same tho

[@huntermanley8712]

Robin H If you keep the eggs between 80 and 89 they should be fine without an incubator. You can separate the eggs from the mother whenever, sooner the better and they can be away from her forever. The mother lays them and in the wild, leaves them. Your male could be thinning out from breeding, I would suggest trying to feed him dubia roaches when he comes around. If he doesnt eat for a month I would seek help from a reptile specialist.

[@robinh5011]

Hunter Manley sadly two weeks after posting this my male has passed away. He started eating again for two days but passed away after those two days.

[@alyssas8257]

Robin H I love your profile picture

[@alyssas8257]

Robin H and I am sorry

[@deandrethomas1881]

What is the name of the incubator you use

[@bellagifford3693]

My leopard geckos eggs never look that perfect and round why are my leopard geckos eggs not like that?

[@ninjakidyooo9394]

Why do you need the vermiculite?

[@tansfamilyreptiles5572]

Very helpful 👍🏻

[@cckmyles]

Does anyone know where to get that incubator from?

[@bexxxd]

could i use eco earth instead of vermiculite

[@mahmoodgaming1265]

I have a question I wanted to know the breed of my leopard gecko is there any way I can send you a picture of video?

[@huntermanley8712]

Mahmood Gaming Our email is [e-mail]

[@channelabdulprana3306]

Verry intersting

[@billbrig2445]

Plz help my eggs have started to dent at 1month old

[@GECKOS-zb5dx]

[@huntermanley8712]

[@GECKOS-zb5dx]

Hunter Manley Thank you i definetely subed keep it up

[@huntermanley8712]

I appreciate it!

[@falloutreference43]

Where did you get the incubator from?

[@huntermanley8712]

We purchased all of our incubators at LLLReptile.com

[@nananooknak]

why does every breeder have a shitty low courtesy setup? is herpetology just easy money making now?

[@rageage7751]

hwt how long do u put the eggs in eco earth

[@huntermanley8712]

Rage Age I'm unsure what you mean

[@katelyngarcia8376]

I wish I could have a lepard gecko but I am not allowed to 😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@billbrig2445]

Hi nice vid I don’t know what’s wrong but my bedding for my gecko eggs feels cold what does this mean the temp says it is at 81 degrees is there something wrong

[@ralvepetty3420]

I have a question my leopard gecko just laid an egg we had her for 2 years and never put a male in their so whats up with that

[@stargazer7382]

Mangled Fx some females happen to lay eggs they are just duds. Nothing to worry. About I have a female that does the same thing.

[@komranade1893]

can i use coco fiber as substrate?

[@huntermanley8712]

crizzy craz Substrate for the geckos? I personally wouldn't to avoid compaction.

[@rogames313]

Komranade yes it is safe for them even if they ingest the coco fiber it is safe and I recommend it too

[@harveydapper]

What is the incubator called

[@huntermanley8712]

HarvDoesGaming I believe it's an Exo terra from LLLReptile supply

[@harveydapper]

Hunter Manley thanks 😁

[@matthewgamon4130]

Is that a dip can at 5:18

[@huntermanley8712]

Haha yes, bleached and cut down a little. I enjoy using things that most folks would just toss.

[@carlosargonza7576]

Farenheight or celcius

[@1971MRRANDY]

Can u send egg to me in Puerto Rico and I incubate them can we try at list with 2

[@huntermanley8712]

Randy Figueroa sorry it isn't safe to do so.

[@angelinakramar7672]

does your lizard get cold because it doesn’t have a heat lamp

[@jurassicroom7673]

Have they hatched yet?

[@huntermanley8712]

We have had a lot of hatchlings since the video was posted! To see some check out our Facebook page, Manley Geckos. :)

[@whiteesw8352]

Can i put dirt in there

[@Dirtykittyy]

Whitees w no

[@danielsantiago3756]

Can I use eco earth?

[@maxie1199]

Not recommended, perlite and vermiculite get the job done for a cheap price, only organic though, ones with fertilizers added will kill you your babies!

[@baraka490]

Okay look dude you're going to make a video at least have a mic or at least turn up your volume

[@jmsvlogs4417]

i cant hear you?

[@santisisneros7756]

why are u so quiet

[@daniellenoble8715]

Is there a certain amount of water u have to mix with vermiculite ??

[@huntermanley8712]

MOD for Life there's ratios you can go by, I would recommend searching them up on the internet. I personally just go by feel cause I've done it so many times.
