I have an all screen enclosure (very nice). I have my adult female and my adult male together, and they mate frequently, so I purchased a tupperwear container and cut a hole in the lid for the female to lay her eggs. I have never bred geckos before mind you, I put vermiculite up to about an inch high in the container and moistened it. I put the female in it so that she would know where it was and that she had something for her eggs. She started licking the water droplets of off the side, and then started licking the vermiculite and ingested some of it. The next day I found the male inside and I laughed but then I saw him licking and eating the vermiculite. They get sprayed pretty well twice a day. Once in the morning and once in the evening. They eat both CGD and crickets just fine. Has anyone else had this problem, and is there anything I can do differently? Just so you all know and don't vear from the origional question, I do have plans to get another female so that they don't (over mate)..lol. Thanks.
