Gecko babies

[DoubleAGeckos]

I am posting pictures later but I wanted to get some feedback.
I made a rookie mistake waiting on the heat tape to arrive and put my male in with my two females one a sht and the other a Mack snow. I wanted to breed my male to the sht but not the snow because she was only 35 grams. A week later my male and female sht breed five days after that there was eggs I thought it was weird but I incubated them two weeks later I found two more eggs in her tub(after I built the rack and separated). Now after all the eggs hatched except one egg which went bad I have 3 baby geckos two sht and 1 snow! The snow baby is healthy and the snow mom is very healthy.

Anyone ever have this happen?

i have a sunglow that layed infertile eggs at 36 grams...she was never with a male. i thought she would keep laying, even if she was not with a male. i figured if she is going to continue to lay eggs, they may as well be fertile eggs, it is NOT going to be any harder on her body(to lay fertile vs infertile)...after talking to NUMEROUS breeders, they ALL agreed with me. so i put my white and yellow sunglow male, she has dropped two more fertile clutches. she looks really good, and healthy. she has not lost weight, and is about to lay another clutch. i would never have bred her if she hadnt layed the infertile clutch...but she did. i think if they are ovulating, they are ready to lay eggs...but im thinking it may not be the best thing for them, unless they are at an optimal weight. i personally prefer my girls to be around 48 to 50 grams. i would love to hear others opinions on this....

In my experience, my geckos that were not with males and laid eggs would only lay one clutch and stop. I had one lay eggs around 35 grams and those were the only two eggs. I wouldn't have put a male with them because now they are going to lay a lot more. I breed between 50-60 grams. Usually 45-50 for the afghans since they're smaller. Laying eggs takes a lot out of them (calcium, weight, etc).
