This morning I woke up and found what is pictured below in my Tokay's cage. I have 1.1 Tokays and am wondering if this is an infertal egg? My female has never laid eggs before so this would be her first attempt!

Thanks

Hmm, never seen a egg look like that but Ive never had a unfertle one yet. Looks kind of droopy like it didnt harden right if it is a egg. She'll more than likely lay another clutch in a month, or -, and hopefully they will come out right. be sure to supplement her food with calcium and leave a little dish in the tank with calci in it for her to lick. its takes alot of calcium for the eggs to develop. I'm only guessing on this but if that is a egg she may not have proper calcium levels for them to develop correctly.

1.2.15 Tokays
1.4.10 Leos(13 albino)
1.2.0 AFT's(amel male)
0.2.0 Stenodactylus Petrii(Dune Geckos)

Tahks for the advice, I dust her food once a week. So I will put an additional dish of calcium in the cage!

Looks alot like the insides of a broken egg. Had a whiteline gecko female break an egg of another female in the tank.

When I'm trying to get my geckos to(right now it's tokay's, did white line about 5 years ago) breed, I dust they food every other feeding.

I suppose it could be a malformed "slug". Reptiles don't always shell infertile eggs, even if they have the calcium to do so, and these shell-less, half-formed eggs which consist of a yolk and albumen in a membrane are often called slugs. Live-bearing snakes will pass these along with newborn snakes, too. It's really hard to identify just what that is, though. I agree with upping the calcium levels, to be sure.
