28G gravid???

[danielraptors]

Hi! I have a problem with my Sunglow Nova female(2012 sub-ad.), she is only 28g now and she started to ovulate a few days ago but I was hoping she stop it and she don't. At now she is going to making eggs. She never been with a male so the eggs will be infertile and as I know it will be more dangerous for her. What sould I do with her? I think I missed to pair her now. After when she clutch these infertile eggs should I pair her with a male? Just becouse the second clutch will be fertile at least and it will be better as I know. Thanks for the help in advance!

I would doubt what you're seeing is ovulation but if she is ovulating she will more than likely reabsorb the ovulates and not produce eggs. Females ovulate regardless of whether a male is present or not but often do not create and lay eggs unless the ovulates are fertilized. If you pair a 28g gecko that is ovulating she will more than likely be severely hurt or die trying to mate and lay eggs - so in a nut shell DO NOT put her with a male until she is at least 50g, preferably 60.

got a female last week, she laid 2 unfertile eggs without being with a male, trust me ur better waiting, those eggs takes everything from them calcium especially...so now im taking extra care of here so she can get back up well. so like drcarrottail said....DONT PAIR HER WITH A MALE ...

Thank you very much I hope she won't lay eggs, and I'm only asked this question becouse I want the best for her, so I don't pair her with a male.

It's unlikely that eggs are forming, unless she mated. In the rare case that eggs do develop, there's a good chance that they'll be absorbed. It would be inhumane to breed her at this weight.
