    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....

Yesturday my Leopard gecko laid two eggs! Last month she only laid one and it deflated within an hour and same for november, does it mean anything that she laid two this month and that they are still holding thier original shape?
 
They could be fertile this time. Did she lay them in her nest box? How do you have them set up for incubating?
 
Fertile eggs are much more firm than infertile ones, generally. They feel much more like ping pong balls, and the infertile ones feel like water balloons that are only halfway full. Good luck with this clutch, I hope they turn out well for you!
 
Eggs are still holding thier shape, My buddy has a pair of leos also and his laid one last night that he said was firm like a pingpong ball. Why did his breed in winter?
 
Is it possible that you're friend's female just started to ovulate for the first time? Nature doesn't really give a crap about seasons when they're growing up...if the body is ready, it's ready any season it wants to be.

Also, in warmer areas, it's possible to breed year-round, although it's not recommended in my opinion...There are certain "tricks" that one can use to stimulate a gecko to ovulate.

Are your eggs still kind of soft? How long are you leaving the male and the female together? I have to leave them together for at least a month before I get any good results from my girls.
 
my buddy says his egg is an inch and a half long, could this be a giant morph? his leos are the same as mine and are normal size???????????
 
Some eggs are just different sizes, that's totally normal. Generally, the infertile ones are a little smaller, but the rule of thumb is to incubate everything until you know for sure the egg is bad, so keep incubating your eggs. The only way to tell if the gecko is a giant is to know the genetics. One or both of the parents have to carry the gene. It doesn't only have to do with size and weight.
 
myeggs are still doing good, maybe i just didnt keep my last eggs moist enough so they went flat....... keeping my fingers crossed!!!
