    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I have a 50 gram female Leopard gecko. She is preggersand this is her very first eggs. She dug in her lay box and stayed in there for about 8 to 10 hours. Then she climbed out and really had not gone back that Ive noticed. The hole is still dug in the vermiculite and she is definately still preggers. Its been almost 2 days since she finished diggine the hole down to the bottom of the lay box. When should I begin to worry about her
 
A lot of time, leopard geckos will dig quite a bit in the week or days leading up to egg laying. It sounds like she's getting ready to lay those eggs pretty soon. The average amount of time a female is gravid for is approx. 3-5 weeks. If she's not showing any true signs of distress (and it doesn't sound like she is) I would just let her be. Don't be going in there, or touching her, picking her up, or anything like that. She'll probably do fine.
 
I've got a crested who's been digging for about 5 days now. It's the norm for her; she'll be fine. When they're eggbound, they spend their time trying to push the eggs out, and looking pretty stressed.
