Red tailed skink eggs Help needed!

[sissysnakes]

I have some red tailed skink eggs that I would like to incubate. I have never done this before and was hoping someone could give me some advice. I am doing research but I didn't expect to get them so I'm totally unprepared.

Not really sure what a red-tailed skink is, but blue tailed skink eggs are similar to colubrid eggs, low 80's should work.

A quick google search tells me that they're native to a WIDE range. Great plains all the way down to florida. I'd setup a small tub with perlite, make sure there were some holes in it, put the eggs halfway submerged into the perlite, and set it on top of the rack in the snake room. I could be wrong but that's what i'd do...

We have an incubator so they are currently set up in there at around 82. They are native to Virginia, so without any extensive knowledge we tried to make it as close to there original den (temp wise) as possible. I was thinking you could probably incubate them the same way as corn snake eggs which are also native, so that's what we are going to do. We plan to release any that hatch back on the farm they came from. The farm hands were cleaning out a shed and came across the eggs... that's how they came to me. It will be neat if they hatch but honestly I'm not counting on it.

That is how they described it, most likely it was a little brown skink or a broad head.
