Infertile eggs

rapton May 16, 2007 01:29 PM

Hello

You guys probably get this question a million times a day but... I have three leopard geckos that I have housed for about four years now. Two female and one Male. I have always kept an incubator as I have had the goal of breeding them. However unfortunately EVERY time they have died. They turn yellow so I know this is infertility. My question is what could be causing the infertility in my animals?

maybe your male shoots blanks or you do something wrong with incubating. it could be several reasons. maybe they dont get put in the incubator soon enough, maybe your females dont get enough vitamins/calcium. but mostly maybe your males shoots blanks but i could be totally wrong.

Your Eggs could be turning yellow because they got stained by the substrate in your egg laying chamber or for several other reasons such as Fattiesandleos mentioned. Don't toss them if they turn yellow. Once they truely go bad with a good crop of mold you can toss them (even then some people dig out the Atheletes Foot powder and keep going). If you give us lots of details about your incubating process we can help you but for now we can only guess at what it is.
