Posted by: zmarchetti at Mon Aug 30 12:23:52 2010 [ Report Abuse ] [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by zmarchetti ] Geckos (apart from the Eublepharians) are unique amongst lizards for their heavily calcified eggs. Producing these shells requires a huge reserve of calcium so many geckos have endolymphatic sacs where they can store excess calcium in preparation for egg development. A female who is on a calcium-rich diet, and not producing eggs will accumulate very large amounts of calcium like you are seeing in yours.
