Try getting them a large rubbermaid bin that you would keep catf ood in, and put a big rock for basking on, and paper towels for the substrate and a big flood light far away so they can bask (flood lights get really hot so put it where you can get a 110f basking temp for them)

now a second baby has hatched! they are so different...the first baby still has his eyes shut and is very quiet the second born over 24 hours later seems bright and alert with his eyes alreay open. is this normal? please help and advise
 
Yes, it is very normal, and there is nothing to worry about. They use up all of their energy poking through the egg so they are tired, I'd suggest leaving them in the incubator until they are moving around alot and then put them in what you are going to keep them in.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
