alanmin4304 Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 Most lizards will go off their food before they lay eggs. Not a lot of room left in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emaytiti Posted February 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Still waiting :-? How long does it usually take from when you spot the eggs till they are laid? Been a good couple of months for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 How well developed are the eggs and do you have a pic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emaytiti Posted February 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 One of the geckos eggs look like they have been ready for a while. Tried taking pics but rather difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emaytiti Posted February 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 One gecko. Both the eggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 What do you have for them to lay in and is it the right temperature and humidity? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emaytiti Posted February 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Vermiculite in klipo containers, mositened. What % humidity? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 I don't measure humidity--just add warm water and squeeze out excess. I use sphagnum moss but either would be OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emaytiti Posted February 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Ok, damn wish I was in Auckland these things would be so much easier. Had a look at their bellies. The one I think is the furtherest along , her eggs look smaller than when I last looked? What should I look for in size of eggs? and What is not a good sign? Sorry for all the questions, but first time with gravid leopards and starting to worry again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 I live in Christchurch and mine know a lot more about it than me. Is this their first breeding season? Have they brumated? Are you sure they have eggs? When looked at from the bottom there should be an egg top left and bottom right. The eggs are easy to spot when ready to lay. There may be a spot bottom left which is a calcium deposit for the eggs. They can lay eggs between 2 and four weeks apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
repto Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 I think you may be looking at them too much and putting them off maybe?I recently got a female off tm and to be honest its not the friendliest lizard I have seen,in fact I think it may well be the unfriendliest lizard i have seen?I have never seen it eat or even come out,if i lift the lid of its hide box it will jump at me and give a hiss.I would imagine the best thing to do would be to provide the right conditions and let nature take its course?
