is my female gravid?

[cbgeckos14]

ok well my female has been ovulating for about 6-7 days and i put in a male with her as soon as i saw her ovulating and now since she ovulated she has these white dots and looks to be small eggs she still has the red ovulating dot and im not sure if that will go away or stay there. also when should i be expecting babys from her cause i need to set up the incubator if its soon thanks guys for all you help
my camera takes really fast pics so if it looks like im hurting her im not. this was about 10 seconds of her being in this position.

Its hard to give you advice when you havent taken any of it into consideration.
Were you not asking for advice on getting new geckos just a few weeks ago? I think many of us told you to wait a bit. Also, I'm pretty sure if I remember correctly someone explained the importance of a quarantine period? Correct me if I'm wrong.

ok today hasn't been a good day and all i wanted was for someone to say yes she gravid or no shes not. the last thing i want to do is have eggs and not have a incubator set up for them and yes i have a rack for the babies if you were wondering.i take great care of all the animals i have and love them all to death.i take all advice into consideration or else i wouldn't have any animals that are alive and healthy today. so thanks for making my day worse by telling me i dont take care of my animals correctly

I never said you didnt care about them, but by racing into breeding is not in their best interest, and you have been warned.

Also, no one can tell you based on those pictures. They are too blurry.

While I'm certainly no expert, I agree that the pictures could be a bit clearer to determine if she is indeed carrying developing eggs.

If that truly is the case then why did you put your geckos together?

No one is saying that you are not taking proper care of your animals, you seem interested and eager to learn as much as you can and that is great. But I concur with katie_ on a few things. Not even a week have you had those geckos (April 12?) and you are already trying to breed them. Breeding geckos is not just about throwing two animals together for hatchlings. It takes an incredible amount of research, preparation, and experience. Like you said above, what are you really going to do if you get eggs and you don't have an incubator? Have you considered all the costs for food, heating, and daily maintenance with the onslaught of hatchlings you could be facing? Some food for thought.

Also, in apparently putting your geckos together already, like katie mentioned, you just overlooked an extremely important precautionary step that must be taken when putting two geckos together - quarantine. This involves separating the new geckos from one another, or already owned ones, monitoring their health, and ensuring that they are in good condition for a period of at least 30 days (60-90 is usually preferable). Since you've only had these geckos for about a week, how do you know if they are completely healthy? How do you know if they are carrying any diseases or infections within them? It may seem farfetched, but transmission of infections due to lack of proper quarantine has occurred, and in some extreme cases, has eradicated collections. It doesn't matter if you've purchased them from the best breeder in the world, any reptile can become ill and pass a disease to another if introduced. As you can see, this is a vital, essential step to any breeding plan that should never be overlooked. Your geckos', and your future geckos' lives all depend on proper quarantine.
