Egg Mystery

[acpart]

I keep my leos in 1.2 breeding groups. On 7/1 I found 4 eggs in one of the lay boxes. I won't know who laid what till they hatch (one female is a boldstripe and the other is a superhypo eclipse. The male is a Tremper albino, so I expect the babies to look really different from each other). This morning, I found another 2 eggs in the lay box. So did one gecko lay 4 eggs last week, or did a gecko lay 2 clutches in 9 days? Only time will tell.

I've had one of my females lay within 8-9 days of the previous clutch so I would say its possible! I would mark the eggs so you know which they are and keep an eye on the babies. The babies that hatched from mine had issues. One didn't absorb the yolk and had a very underdeveloped hind end and died hatching and the other had a pretty severe tail kink and shedding issues and passed after a couple of weeks. I had some other folks suggest that it may have been that the quick succession of eggs didn't allow for enough nutrients to be put into the second clutch. I hope yours turns out way better!!
