whats a thick tail geckos gestation period

my girls clearly been gravid for a few weeks. Any one know how long ive got to wait. Her freind dropped hers a week or two ago unfortunatly she didn't like the nesting box i provided and laid them where they dried out. since then I've seperated the remaining gravid girl to a more humid tank where i hope all will go well. I just want her to hurry up so i can stop stressing about spoiling these ones to! any ideas

Depends on the temps but usually around 1month. Make sure you keep her well fed and regularly suppliment with calcium.
Goodluck

thanx jordo, she was bigger (in the gut) than the one thats already laid so i thought she would drop first. Do they ever get egg bound?

spoonman,
The general gestation is between 4-6weeks but can obviously be longer or shorter. Longer from personal experience LOL.

Also, re Egg Bounding- the female may eventually lay but the eggs will most definitely be unviable. Also from personal experience LOL

Do you have any pics of the females and the enclosure?
