I get so frustrated when I'm checking for eggs only to find nice healthy poop stuck to sphagnum. It started with a couple groups, but seems to be an ever growing trend. ARghh. :main_angry:

Sounds very frustrating! But hey, at least it's nice, healthy poop! If it makes you feel any better, our leos always leave nice little presents all over their reptile hammock! Very frustrating, as it is just so cute to see them sleep on one of those..but that doesn't happen anymore since it's become the bathroom for the whole group!

Whats more frustrating is when you DONT find poop on your reptihammock because your gecko doesnt use it!! Something told me she wouldnt be interested, but i didnt listen to myself and got one anyways...teach me to not listen to myself, i hope i learned a lesson.

I have been getting a worste prob. Every egg in one breeding group I have is always infertile. 2 females same male One female had 2 clutches and the other female one clutch. All 3 clutches started good but 2 days later collapse and smell ewwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am hoping my next clutches from that group are better. If not grrrrrrrrrrrr

Yeah, I had one of those feelings, too...thought the hammock was cool and didn't listen to myself :eek: They did use it for purposes other than a toilet for a little bit, though!

Thank you very much, she definitely is a beauty! she really is our sweetest girl, too :)

About 50% of our females are laying in their boxes this season and the other half are pooping in them and laying in the corners of their tubs.... They didn't do it last year either. I think they're just trying to drive me nuts!

If you check if your animals do carry eggs, that would save yourself quite some disappointments; if I know a gecko isn't pregnant, then I know that I don't have to wait for eggs and I would be very happy with nice and healthy stool...

Thanks for the advice Stevie.:). My breeders are checked daily.:p

My main quarrel is with the eggbox fecal squad. It dissapoints me everytime. As, my fems don't get eggboxes until "that time of the year". When there's no eggs, there's surely poop, sometimes a combo of both. The culprits never use the moist hides this way lol. :main_lipsrsealed:

LOL, we buy all these cool new things for our geckos to climb on, and they think it's a new bathroom. I suppose that it makes them happy either way, I know I would like a new bathroom ;)

ewww, Juan we are having the same problem! Our SS female poops in her peat and it gets to stinking if I don't notice it after a day because it molds in there really quickly. I have tried moving the hide around all over and she still poops in it! Yuck!
