Most breeders are comfortable using incubators. When the eggs need to be transfered from the laying bin, into the incubator make sure that the eggs does not change position, to reduce the chances of the embryo being broken. After 12 or more hours, the eggs should have hardened enough to be transfered.

What does it mean when leopard gecko digs in the cage?

Well, you're probably in for a surprise. In other words, your leopard gecko is pregnant! If you've never had any other leopard geckos in the aquarium (or wherever you keep it) then the egg will never hatch, it's just a cycle some leopard geckos go through, and is not uncommon. No need to worry, just remove the egg; but if you have had another leopard gecko in the cage before, it was probably a male, even if you thought otherwise, as this can be tricky. If this is so, you should put a small container of fresh aspen shavings or the moss you can get, but not the sand (this can be hazardous for baby leopard geckos). Hopefully, your gecko will lay her egg in the container, and you should remove that and place them in an incubator (directions at http://www.albeysreptiles.com/incubate-eggs.htm). Continue to follow the directions at that website, and you will find what you need. If the eggs are not in the container, carefullyremove the eggs by taking all that is under it and gently placing it in the container. Try to incubate them, following the directions given earlier, but it will normally be too late by then. Hope your hatchlings-to-be will do well!

Yes you should feed your Leopard Gecko wax worms if hes getting to skinny. However, you shouldn't always feed it as his main food. They can get obeyed and be addicted to wax worms. This is bad.
