In 2002 I purchase a pair of Het For Albinos from Brian at BHB. This was my first year breeding them. Last Wednesday night 3/23/06 when I was feeding my Leopard Geckos I noticed my Het For Albino Female was in the process of laying her eggs. I know a lot of people will take the opportunity to get a few photos of the laying process but I just cant bring myself to do it. Some things just need to be done in private. LOL Any way the next morning when I woke up she had finished her work and here is a picture of the proud mom.







As I was taking pictures she was very intent on seeing what I was up to as this next picture shows.







I think by now she was sure that I was up to no good and was letting me know in no uncertain terms, don’t mess with me. Ha Ha







Actually she was quite the little lady and let me remove her from the eggs. Here are the six beauties that she had laid.







When she started to breed this year she was at 1700 grams and the six eggs that were laid weighed 637 grams in total.







Laying such a heavy clutch definitely took its toll on her. She lost quite a bit of weight. I have been told many Females wont start eating again until they shed and the cage has been cleaned so she cannot smell her eggs but last year both of the Females that laid eggs ate right away. I am hoping she will do the same so she can get back to the beautiful figure she once had. LOL







Here are her eggs in there new home for the next two months. I hope to be updating you then with pictures of a few pretty Albinos.







I hope you enjoy the pictures.
