do i have eggs??err?

[snakegirl]

well here is the store. my female "S.H.C.T" Is 53 grams as of a few weeks ago.
and the male i put her with even before that. is i think if i remember 40ish? i think... Anyway few weeks ago i put them in with each other...no breeding...but they didnt fight so i kept them in with each other over night...and another night....and another...then took them back to there bins. few weeks later...i put in a lay box for her and everything else...but i think am not going to have any eggs. i cant get a good shot of her tummy. *my cam is like 2 pounds so i must have at lest one hand holding it up* so here is my female this morning along with a belly shot..if i dont have eggs?..the only thing i can think of is....the male is to small?

I think I can see some eggs forming in the second pic. How long has it been since you first introduced them?

 

[snakegirl]

i would say its been at lest 2 weeks. if not more. i have not seen them breed at all. but they could have done it when i wasn't around.

I'm having trouble deciding if the second pic is just fat pads, or if they are indeed eggs. I'm leaning towards just fat pads right now, below is a picture of a near term female. Keep in mind that this was about 4 weeks after the original mating, and the day before she layed her eggs.

Great shot, Jake! :main_thumbsup:

I can't conclude from the second picture above if she is or isn't gravid either. I think there's too much direct light on the area in question, and the image is a little over exposed. Any chance you can get another shot with less flash?

 

[snakegirl]

i will soon do some more shots. give me a hour or so? lol btw i looked this morning female is 55 grams male is 41

I would think that a 40g male shouldnt have too much of a problem mating. I'll be checking back for pictures!

i tried getting other photos. but really she is NOT a easy gecko to hold. you would think she is half bird. trying to jump,kick, and wiggle her way out of your hands..i just dont think i will b getting any eggs from her....wishful thinking i was :main_rolleyes:...i put the male/female in one bin...they do not fight..but Nothing happens they just walk over or away from each other then when i leave they sleep...the male does have a small tail? am going to get some wax worms see if i can beef him up a bit. but Why is Nothing really happening?

 

[snakegirl]

here is a photo of them weeks ago. male hasn't changed much you can see his tail is kind of small. and no nothing happen they just sometimes walk over one another...

 

[jakemyster44]

I'm thinking that she's not prego. What is most likely happening is that the female s not ovulating... it doesnt appear that she is. Just keep checking, if she starts ovulating then put them together.

Start feeding your male more and make sure he get's enough food.
