P.S. she was gravid before i got here.

It can be a difficult time for them, and about all you can do is keep offering food daily. Try some different feeders also, it may peak her interest. She may absorb the eggs and not lay them, but be prepared to feed her up when she has an appetite. What are you going to do with the eggs?

she wont even eat waxies- i will sell the eggs- they will be jungle typhoons or reverse stripe typoons

Females go off food in the days, to week prior to laying...this being the reason a female should not be breed prior to reaching a good weight. All you can do now is like Laney said keep tryin to offer food but she will likely NOT eat till she lays those eggs...then you need to offer her super's or giant mealies to get her weight back up because she's gonna start producing more eggs. Skip the wax worms you can get better nutrition and weight feeding giant mealies and supers! Also make sure she has a dish of Calcium and D3 at ALL times in her viv!!

My female lost more then 10grams each time she laid eggs for the first few clutches. But she was also somewhere around 60grams prior to breeding
My female was just off food for the last week and a half maybe two...I don't pay such attention anymore, she laid eggs yesturday. She spent her night drinking tons of water (normal) and now this AM just scarfed 10 giant meal worms. and she will keep with that kind of eating for the next week or so....sometimes she eats twice daily in th e first few days after laying.

ok i will
my 22 gram gecko eats like that

 

[geckogirl3]

does anyone want the babies once they hatch

 

[M_surinamensis]

once

If.

 

[fl_orchidslave]

If.

Right, they may very well be infertile since she is still so small. A lot can happen. She may or may or may more eggs this season. Even if the babies hatch, they may be too weak to survive as she did not have enough nutrition built up to give them.

 

[Pinky81]

If.

Concentrate your efforts on keeping your girl healthy. Its gonna be a hard stretch to find anyone who will want to pay much for babies out of a very young underweight, deficient mom. Spend you money on mom and forget the egg incubation, for the amount of money you will spend on incubator and such you can spend a little more on some higher quality feeders like Horn worms, butterworms, or dubia.

both eggs are fertile and growing. since i am 11 my mom buys me all that stuff. my gecko just had been mated on ascendent. and both of the egg are wanted already by someone who knows she is under weight

You claim that your gecko, which I assume is pictured in your avatar, is a Banana Blizzard. Even when paired with a Typhoon, there is no possible way to make a pure Typhoon from that cross, not even if the Banana Blizzard was het for Rainwater Albino. The best you'd get from that pairing, if the female was het, are Rainwater Albinos het for Eclipse, Patternless, and Blizzard.
