Sticking eggs ???

Riverratt Dec 15, 2004 06:37 PM

I take it by a post down a ways that when some geckos when laying infertile eggs stick them to the glass. I found 2 such eggs about a month ago in with my Fimbriatus. I have had them for almost a year now and they are doing great. Wild caught with a 2 month overlay in Florida.
Couple questions???
Does this happen much? My female and male are young probally around 3 at the most.
When they lay, do they bury or hide the eggs? I read they do.
Any ideas on getting them to breed? Here is there home
I have them in a Oceanic 70 lizard lounge. Automated misting system 2 daily morning and night with a good heavy rain once a week. They eat well on crickets. They get half natural sunlight and Reptiglo 8.0. Amazing enouph they really like to bask in the sun shining in through the window. They will come out of hiding to lay in it. Plenty of wood,vegitation and such looks just like their home grounds. I don't handle them only for weekly inspections. Maybe pulling the natural light and put them on a schedule? We are at 10 hours of light here now for winter. Any replies or ideas very welcome. Thanks

the only thing i would probably monitor any closer would be how much calcium the female is getting. other than that you can't really do anything but hope that they like each other if you know what i mean....

Cage sounds fine, but avg temps and humidity?...

Fims can be raised fast enough to be ready to breed in a year... You may have a sterile male... However, it is not uncommon to get a clutch or two of slugs per pair to start the breeding season... You may have good eggs on the way... keep a close eye out at around 2 weeks to a month after you got the infertile clutch... also, as said before, make sure you baby the hell out of the female to be sure she has enough nutrients...
