OK I have decided

[leopardgecko95]

Ok I have decided that I am going to breed my 2 females to a family member's male.There is just one thing though.I have been researching breeding for a while now.And I can't seem to find any information on egg binding.If she weighs like 60 grams and is at least a year old and has proper calcium will she most likely do OK?


I care a lot about my 2 females and if something happend to them I would die so please help me out.

I don't think egg-binding is as common as you might think. I have been breeding leopard geckos for 11 years, and have only had 3 cases out of more than a hundred geckos. There are a lot of reasons females can become egg-bound:

1.) Female is too young or underweight
2.) eggs are too big (usually infertile ones)
3.) lack of appropriate place to lay eggs
4.) insufficient calcium supplementation
6.) poor overall husbandry
6.) uterine inertia

What Marcia said, lol. Actually, 60g and over a year old sounds good, as long as she's in good health.

I agree, once she starts showing eggs she sounds like she's "good to go"!
