This is Freddie, my bell albino female that I got 3 weeks ago tomorrow. She was housed with a blizzard about the same size as her, I think it was a male.

She's way way way too little to be laying eggs. She's 25 grams! I don't know how old.

Is she going to be ok? I found some clear fluid in her tank yesterday, and she's been pooping more than normal (2 - 3 times a day) - I don't know if these things mean anything, but thought I'd throw them out there if the info was useful.

Looks like eggs to me. I don't recommend it, but they do breed in the wild at that size. Put a lay box in with her and she should lay the eggs in the next week. Good luck.

Thanks, I was afraid of that. So there isn't any way I could convince her to re-absorb them? :)

I put a lay box in there, with moss. She's been in it ever since, but I don't know if that even means anything since it's the same as a moist hide.

One good thing though, she's been eating dubias like crazy, so she'll have the extra calcium they provide. (she also has a calcium dish)

Funny thing, the "eggs" are getting smaller. I think if they are eggs, she must be re-absorbing them. Or they were something else altogether. Which is perfectly fine with me!

I did talk with the pet store and the two geckos are completely unrelated and neither have any hets. So if she does end up laying, they'd all be normal het for blizzard and bell.

Incubator is at 82 degrees and ready to go just in case.
