Female Leo not laying

[tylerray1132]

About 4 weeks ago I introduced my male Leo to my female and I had them together for 4 days. I have checked my female and do believe she is gravid, but she has yet to lay her eggs. I know they normally lay within 3 weeks. This is her 3rd clutch. I'm just seeing of any ways I can help her lay? I can add pictures to help if needed.

Make sure she has a secure, moist hide to lay in where she feels comfortable. Make sure she is getting plenty of calcium and other nutrition and is hydrated and healthy. Prevent stress and make sure she is warm. If she still doesn't lay, she may he egg-bound. However, it could also be that she isn't gravid.

I hope you get some nice eggs soon! Best of luck!

Can you post pictures of her abdomen.. If you haven't gotten one egg in three clutches, I have doubts that she is gravid at all.. Are you sure that your female was ovulating? Usually the typical Leopard Gecko season doesn't begin until December or January..

She laid a clutch in July and they hatched on September 8th. The other clutch was infertile. I will post picture soon.

Oh Ok,

I got ya, That actually happened to me last season.. If they are on a natural breeding cycle, the breeding season generally goes from December to September.. She was probably just bred to late in the season.. It would still be good if you posted a picture though. Is she eating regularly and regaining weight?

My camera is being dumb and a lot he picture are turning out really dark/black. She's eating regularly I keep Mealworms in all of my Leo cages along with dusted crickets twice a week. Once with calcium only and once with reptivite. I was trying to feed Phoenix worma, but my Leo's despise them and they end up turning into moths and flying away. The more I've been reading and checking her I'm thinking she wasn't ovulating at the time. She has a really nice fat tail thought ahaha
