Yay! After that horrifying visit to my local PetCo, I came into the Leopard Geck room and sifted through my female's humid hide and found two eggs. Shortly after putting them in the incubator she ate 3 superworms and went to the hide to sleep. I don't blame her.

My Question is, one of the eggs was slightly smaller than the first one that I put into the incubator. Is that a bad thing? Will it cause any ailments or anything? I'm going to try to feed her 3 times a day with everything coated in calcium. She's still a healthy 61 grams....Lol

Hey congrats !
one egg being smaller than the other isnt a bad thing, its slightly normal. sometimes when a female lays her eggs or clutches throughout the seasons there a 80% chance you'll get a slightly bigger egg than the rest so nothing to worry about
and are they coverd in dirt? if not lol you gotta candle them dude, see if they're fertile
