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 please?!
I bought two gecko's a last winter..I had some growing up but Ive never had a male/female....My girl has always been small and I thought if she was to have eggs I would easily notice but yesterday while cleaning out the sand I noticed two eggs in the sand..Will they be okay? Do I need to move them away from the dad and into a container with moss? a pet store I asked said they'll be fine in the cage but I never go by what they say..they're always wrong! I know that the female should have been placed in a containter with moss and what not but are the eggs bad now? they don't look completly round..more intented on one side but they are very new seeing as how I check them everyday and they werent there before..they laid them under the house so will they get cold? please help with any info you can give! message back here or email me kimi_wood@hotmail.com
I do know they are female/male because the people I got them off said they had already had babies before

No, the eggs will not hatch in the cage.
They will need to be removed, placed in a container of some sort of moistened hatching medium (I prefer Perlite, but vermiculite or HatchRite work well too), and incubated at a steady temp to have a chance of them hatching. If they are still round and white, they do sound fresh....they could still be very much viable, but you're going to need to set them up fairly quickly to keep them that way.

They are very very white but they're not round...does that mean they;re not good? or do they get rounder when the babies grow?

Well, how dented in are they? Sometimes if not too badly dented, they kind of "spring back" once you get them into properly damp hatching medium.
Or are they just oddly shaped altogether?

Well.....it's always worth a shot, if you think they have a chance. Just make sure there is plenty of humidity in their container, they might plump up for you.

Kimi, if our female is too small and continues to lay eggs, it could cause serious health problems. Is she housed with a male? If so, it might be a good choice to separate them until she is at least 50 grams in weight.
If the eggs are limp, like a water balloon, then they are not fertile. Fertile eggs firm up to a leathery consistency, and will require a constant temperature of about 85 degrees and enough humidity to keep the incubation substrate damp, but not wet. In either case, laying eggs is very demanding on the female's body, so make sure she had plenty of calcium.
Good luck!
