Pinkish eggs

[migdem]

I have my female and when I check her belly she has 2 shiny pink eggs. Are these normal? Also a note she was warm since she was sitting on the warm side.

 

[Theinfidel]

the egg's are still being developed just wait about 5 days

 

[migdem]

Ok cool Hope they are fertilized !!!

do you have a dig box in the tank? and if so has she started to dig yet? if she hasn't started to dig then she may still be further then 5 days. It usually takes about 3 days of serious digging before my female will lay. Good Luck with the eggs!

 

[Theinfidel]

Well pink that's not all entirely true about the digging. I currently have a female that just laid her second clutch today and she started digging a day before. On her first clutch she dug in her hide the hour she needed to lay.

she made some holes but no eggs yet. She does not have laybox because my substrate is coconut peat so she can lay them anywhere.

not at all implying that my experience is law..just telling my experiece. As a first time breeder myself waiting for my first clutch was very nerve racking..so if someone told me your 5 days out...and then I reach day 6 or 7 I would have gotten nervous. So I was just trying to help by giving my experience of what I noticed..because it wasn't the color of the eggs but her digging behavior that helped me know how close to laying we was.

Also what am I noticing is that sometime she stands up feet on ground and hand on the glass. It takes a while like that. Is this normal behaviour?

 

[Theinfidel]

yeah all my geckos do that including my gravid female if that makes your concerns go away better especially if their kept in glass enclosures.

 

[migdem]

ok great. Yes they are in glass enclosures

Ok cool Hope they are fertilized !!!

They will only be fertile if she has been with a male.
If she began developing on her own without having mated then they will be infertile.

 

[migdem]

Well she has a mate with her in the enclosure. Will have to wait and incubate them and hope for the best

 

[migdem]

Ok so my clutch of eggs has been laid. 1 is roundish and the other is slightly squashed ( like a small dent ) What should I do?

 

[Theinfidel]

just incubate it no matter what.

 

[migdem]

how often should I open the box to check the eggs?

 

[Theinfidel]

You can check to see anytime throughout the day. You can usually tell if she laid them or not, she'll be obviously in there but your see her hind legs laid back right under the hole she dug with the eggs there and she'll be resting.

 

[migdem]

Well she laid Now in the incubator
