Question
hi,
i was wondering if ALL female leopard geckos can lay eggs without a male?
and if so, how often,will it stress he out,and can they ever be fertile,and what will you need for them to lay their eggs?
thanks, cara

Answer
Hello, No not all female leoaprd geckos will lay eggs I had two females neither laid eggs, This can cause her death if she isnt getting a large portion of calcium as the body is drained of calcium for the egg shells.... she doesnt need anything different then her normal cage settings to lay her infertile eggs thou she'd liely lay them in her moist hide box, unless the female has been around a male shortly before laying the eggs I doubt they could ever be fertile.
