well, my leopard gecko laid a pair of eggs around slightly less then 2 weeks ago, i really don’t knowif they are fertile but it seems unfertile to me as i just don’t see the red glow. if this pair of eggs are infertile, will my leopard gecko still lay the next pair? and if she does, is there any possibilities that the second pair would be fertile? i can see developments of a new pair of eggs in the tummy already, and shes stop eating.

First year breeders have a higher % of blanks than others. I would still leave them in the incubater anyways. Even if the first eggs are sterile the next pair could very well be fertile. Last year I had the same problem where alot of my breeders first clutches were sterile. Thankfully this year it seems like every eggs has been fertile. Personally I believe this is because of a better diet and health.

A lot of people make a big mistake when candling there eggs. The entire egg will not be red in the first couple weeks. Actually it will have a yellowish color like an infertile egg. The only difference is that a fertile egg for the first week or so will have what seems to be a small red vein. Look out and keep every egg in the incubator for at least three weeks until you decide they are unfertile.
Good Luck,
