hi. i am a first time owner of the leopard geckos. i have two females and one male. they recently started to mate and the females have been laying eggs. i too have had the same problem of eggs "denting" i've been reading that the "dents" are due to lack of nutrients and a more varied diet should be offered. i have added pinkies dunked in a multivitamin powder to their diet (which also consists of crickets and wax worms) to see if there's any improvement. so far, one of my females recently laid two eggs that are not showing any major "denting" so hopefully it worked.
