CrazyCorn Jun 22, 2003 03:13 PM

Ok as some of you have read i got pair of leo's yesterday well after looking over my female today i noticed under the right light she has 3 or 4 egg looking things in her belly they are about 1/2-3/4 of an inc long and feel hard, so anyways my question is are these eggs? what type of nest box should i make her if they are? I think i read on a website yesterday that i sould make a little tupperware dish full of nesting matriel, is this good? I am so used to snakes this my first succesful breeding of lizards i am so psyched right now its unbelieveable, anyways THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP! Dave.

they probably are eggs, but there is only 2 at most, unless she was egg bound. are you absolutly sure there is 3 - 4? thats a big problem.

can you get a pic of the belly of your female? i don't know what you consider cheap, but you can get havobators for less then $40. they work wonders for me.

its too blurry for me too tell for sure, but i dont think those are eggs. eggs are pretty obvious. i think its just a normal part of the gecko. dont worry about it unless she starts acting akward.
