can leopard geckos eat eggs, and if so do they eat the inside or eat the whole thing? Is this good for them as a snack?

Personally i have never tried - but leopard gecko's generally are attracted to the movement of their prey - eggs dont tend 2 move much :0) so i would definately think not - when i feed pinkies / fuzzies i have 2 wiggles them around a while b4 my gex will look at them

I don't think offering them regular type of eggs is a good idea but I do know that sometimes a female will eat her own eggs that she lays especially if she is under nourished or lacking vitamins. Many males that are left in to long with females will partake in the snack also so make sure males are seperated from females before they lay...
