prob a very dumb question

[btbam1237]

can females produce eggs without mating

 

[GeckoJunkie]

Thats not a dumb question. And the answer is yes they can produce eggs without breeding/mating.

thank you.... one more, how long does it take for her to lay her eggs usually

 

[GeckoJunkie]

Thats a little harder question.....if she had bred and you had seen her then I would say 3-5 weeks. But without her breeding I m not sure. Maybe someone else will jump in.

Sounds about right. Although it is not that common, females can lay infertile eggs without being exposed to a male. It is important to provide her with a lay box, as the most common contributing factor for egg binding in cases like this is due to the lack of an appropriate place to lay them.

i will say there is a male in there but hes only about 4mo... but does the fact that i can visually sex him maybe mean hes older than i thought, hes only about 5in he is quite chubby though
