RE: I'm a daddy, leopard geckos just hatched!! (DUW!!)
It's similar to incubating most reptile eggs, you need humidity, without them getting wet, and heat. Leo eggs are pretty forgiving. You can incubate them anywhere from 80-90 degrees F. Higher temps and you are more likely to get males, and hatch in closer to 32-37 days, lower temps and you are more likely to get females, and hatch in 52-60 days. I don't have an actual incubator set up at the moment, I put the cups with the moist substrate in tubs in my rack, around 85 degrees.

You do have to plan for babies. I have them in large ziplock/tupperware type food storage containers, 10" x 6", with water dishes & calicium dishes anda little hide made out of a small styrofoam sauce cup. Once they have their first shed they will be offered mealworms, I'm going to try these guys on phoenix worms once they start eating, they are higher in calcium, lower in phosphorus and fat, so that should be some good variation. I also might give butterworms a try, if I can get some smaller ones.
