One of my setups is a 30 gallon tank. It has two humid hid boxes, a log, a few rocks, the temp is around 87 on one side and 75 on the other. They have a low sided water dish and are on a cabinet liner. Up until recently this tank housed three geckos, one male and two females. One of the females produces eggs regularly, the other has never laid and egg yet. I recently took the not laying female out because I witnessed the other female picking on her and causing injuries. Why would the one female never lay eggs? And why would the two female not get along? Any ideas?

Even in females I have seen where they bully each other. I would suggest that they even being females still fight for dominance. i think this would be enough to stress the other female to the point that she would not breed or thrive. I bet now that you have seperated them she will take off and do very well.
