If you choose to remove the eggs to an incubator, make sure you don’t turn them from their original position.

Almost any container will do. Deli dishes with a top work fine. Get some Vermiculite from the local garden store and fill the container about 3/4 full. Add water until the Vermiculite is good and moist (not wet or soggy). Make a depression with your thumb and put an egg in each one. Cover the egg(s) lightly with moist Vermiculite. Put the top on the deli dish in which you have punched holes for ventilation. You can use a light bulb or undertank heater to keep the temperature at 82-85 degrees. Keep the vermiculite moist and the eggs should hatch in about 35 days. Each hatchling will need its own 10-gallon enclosure. They can be fed pinhead crickets, flightless fruit flies, or leafhoppers until they are big enough to handle larger prey items.

Adults sometimes view the hatchlings as a "snack".

i know that my adult male would certainly have considered him a snack if he had the chance to be near one of mine.(Well, at least when it was born)....they have grown so much already
