Time between laying...

[Paul McErlean]

Hi,

I got my gecko's in February. They were supposed to be both female but turned out to be a male/female pair, and I immediatley seperated them. I found out too late that my slightly small female (about 40 grams) was gravid. After her first clutch (infertile) it took a further 3 weeks for her to lay again (this time fertile - and successfully hatched 2 weeks ago) She has since layed 2 futher clutches at two week intervals, and is clearly still ovulating. She currrently has two eggs visible but it has been nearly 3 weeks since she last layed. I know the gestation time can vary between females but is it normal for it to vary from clutch to clutch in one female. She seems to be acting normally. Is she likely to be egg bound or can I hold off the trip to the vets for another week?

Thanks

They can go usually anywhere from 2-4 weeks between laying.

Yes is is normal for for the time between clutches to vary. Some of my females lay every 21 days on the dot, others take anywhere from 2-4 weeks. I have even had one female lay 2 clutches within 12 days. Every gecko is different.
