I

Inland Geckos

Guest
hi, my tremper has only laid 1 good egg so far out of 3 clutches. she has supplements such as repti-cal and herpavite but all her eggs come out badly dented. could it be her age? i dont have a good history on her because i didnt buy her from a breeder but she could be older. she is very healthy looking and well above the 50g weight level. any info or similar situations?

I got a female gecko in fall 2004 that was 2 1/2 years old weighing 80 grams. I have attempted to breed her for the past 3 seasons and have gotten a total of maybe 10 eggs (I'm not home this weekend so I can't check my data) and 5 babies (3 the first season, and 1 each of the next 2 seasons). She's in great health, has been observed mating with the male each season, consistently weighs between 90-100 grams and for some reason just isn't a good breeder. This season she's in with my normal male (who is doing his thing) and whatever happens, happens. After this season she's retiring with another female who is about 4 years old and will have bred for 4 seasons.
