OK heres the deal. I recently acquired some geckos. One pair is easily older bigger and healthier than all the others. A few weeks ago they caught me by surprise by laying eggs, 2 which looked unhealthy and somewhat crinkled so I discarded them. Today they surprised me again by laying 2 more very big and healthy looking eggs. I had no intention of breeding them and had no idea of them breeding. I cant even tell which is the female, a few weeks ago I saw the larger of the two hovered over the eggs with her tail up, so I figured that was the female. Today the smaller of the two was hovered over the eggs which they put in a dry feeding dish and covered with sand. I don't want to disregard of these super healthy eggs so I grabbed some calcium sand, mixed it with water by misting it, put it in a rubbermaid container, and put the container over a heatpad controlled by a thermostat set to 90. Is it common for one female to lay seperate clutches weeks apart? Or do I have 2 females which I highly doubt. What recommendation can you give me so I do not have an incubator, vermiculite, or any type of moss, sand is the best I have right now. Please help me if you can THANKS.

How many weeks passed between egg clutches? If it were less then 4 then you have 2 females. Female geckos will lay every 4 weeks.

I have some leos that lay like clockwork every two weeks. They are housed seperately too so I know it's their eggs. Leos will lay two eggs about once a month for 6-8 months.
