Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Help !!!
I am new to leopard gecko breeding. One of my females laid one dud egg and the next day she laid one that looks good. I put the egg in a reptibator incubator. My question is, what humidity should the display say?

Moved to the discussion forum - please be more careful about where you place your posts, Armani...you seem to make a habit of posting discussion topics in the classifieds. (You might find that they just get removed, if that continues.)

Hi Armani. I'll be honest with you, I've never actually used a humidity gauge and I've successfully hatched hundreds of eggs. If your substrate is adequately moistened and your incubation container is adequately sealed, the humidity of the incubator itself is actually meaningless. Reptile eggs are also very good at telling you if they need moisture. They will start deflating if they dehydrate. However, given that the other egg was a dud, there is a chance this egg is infertile. If that is so, the egg will deflate on its own in about a week and then rot. A healthy egg may deflate, but will become turgid again with the addition of moisture.
And, as always, never get water directly on the egg or it can drown.

Wow. Do you think that the egg is infertile even if she was with one of my male geckos for a week?

Don't worry! This is the first clutch of many. You'll probably get 4-5 more clutches from her, laid about every 2-3 weeks. If you carefully lift her up you can see the eggs developing through the thin skin of her belly. Keep reintroducing the male. If she doesn't accept his advances in the first 5 minutes, separate them. When leopard geckos want to mate they generally don't mess around! The deed is done in about a minute, lol.
