Crested geckos normally lay two eggs per clutch. They can have anywhere between 4-6 clutches a year, maybe more. Its always best to 'cool' them after they have laid 4-6 clutches, as they could have as many as a clutch every month year around. To cool just lower temperatures to about 70F and keep feeding etc as normal.



ALso, its a good idea to place a shallow dish with calcium powder in the cage, so the females can lap it up at will. This will prevent risks of calcium crash. Egg laying crested geckos can use up calcium fast, especially after they shell eggs inside of them...they can suffer MBD fast and suddenly, to the point of being fine one night, then crash the next night with twitching, rubbery jaws etc. I find keeping calcium in the cage instead of relying on dusting insects or the powdered diet, helps prevent calcium crashing as the geckos can help themselves to calcium at will.
