Breeding Signs and INFO needed

Geckodude54 Jan 12, 2004 08:27 PM

What are some signs of breeding? And how do you tell once a female is gravid?
Also, how long do you keep a male and female in the same cage?
How long until eggs get laid?
How long until you can mate again?
How long until eggs hatch?
Will she just lay the eggs on the Paper Towel?
How do I pick up the eggs?
Thanks for the info, appreciate it.

What are some signs of breeding? And how do you tell once a female is gravid? you may witness them breeding. She will prepare herself by getting her tail really fat, and you can tell if she is gravid because she will probably start eating less

How long until eggs get laid? it will most likely be about 2-4 weeks between lay dates

How long until you can mate again? she will wait until she is ready. You can keep them together but watch for signs of aggression coming from either side if they cant get along separate them.

How long until eggs hatch? anywhere from 40-60 days give or take a few

Will she just lay the eggs on the Paper Towel? no, you need to make a lay box with moist sphagnum peat moss this will keep the eggs from drying out if you do not catch them immeadiatly. Check this EVERYDAY

How do I pick up the eggs? VERY carefully, DO NOT rotate, turn or flip the eggs as this will kill the egg. gently pick it up and put it in the incubator in the SAME EXACT POSITION as you found it in the lay box
