Orion laid her first egg last night!!! And she FINALLY ATE after 2months of not eating!!!! I've got the egg on perlite w/ temps at 81*. I CAN'T WAIT!!!! My babygirl is totally excited too and so is hubby!
And I know people say that momma geckos just lay their eggs and walk away but I thought Orion was going to try and take my finger off when I went to take her out of the moist hide to get the egg out lol. She kept lunging at my hand, scrambled around the tank watching me while I had the hide out and then ran back into the hide and promptly lay back down where the egg had been.

I am so excited for you! I know what your feeling with that first egg. Can you see another egg in Orion?
I agree with you wholeheartedly about mother geckos and their eggs. It is written that they don't care about them after they lay them, I beg to differ with them on that one. Good luck to you and yours! Keep us posted.

My gecko's also stay on the mounts of dirt that have their eggs buried in. GOOD LUCK Shannon and keep us posted I want to see and hear when you have babies!

Now you get to wait another 55-60 days to be excited all over again. Happy for you, and good luck. Hope it produces an awesome baby for you.

awww!
Congrats!
I have a female that never left the lay box area after she laid her eggs.
If it was feeding time, and she laid her eggs (but I didn't know because she buried them), I would have to feed her with the tongs because she wouldn't leave the top of the lay box.
I began to know she laid eggs by this behavior.

hah all of my females guard their eggs. And when I take them out and smooth over the substrate in the lay box they dig it all up again in a frantic search for their eggs. It's cute lol
