Well, I had noticed my gecko's (Clementine and Houdini,lol) had been breeding a few weeks ago, and had kept a pretty close eye out for any signs of eggs in Clementine, but apparently my "inexperience" with leo's has cost me their first clutch. I checked on them yesterday before going out of town, and sure enough, when I got home tonight and was feeding them, there were 2 "shriveled" and dry eggs. If Id have realized she was so close to laying I would have provided a better laying medium for her. But I guess I will know for next clutch. Which is where I am in need of your assistance if you could help. Approximately when should I expect her to lay again, and what are the chances that they will be fertile? This was her first clutch ever, as they are both barely a year old. Any other experienced advice in anticipation of the next eggs is greatly appreciated and anticipated! Thanks in advance guys and gals!

She should lay again pretty soon. Leo's usually lay their eggs in sets of two every couple of weeks during breeding season. I would provide a laying medium for her now and let her get used to it and leave it in there all through the rest of the season. Being that its her first season there is a chance the eggs will be infertile, but only time will tell for sure.
make sure to supplement her diet with lots of extra calcium to help her with the egg laying!
