My very first egg!

[guff_man]

Hey guys, pretty excited today my geckos laid the first egg. Im very new to this so thought i would post it up even though its not very exciting for most.
The pair are shark bay occies. For some reason she only laid one egg, but hopefully next time there will be two.
Ive got a hovabator incubator and its in a SIM tub with just water as a medium. Going to give this a try first up and see what happens, hoping all will be sweet.

Any suggestions feel free to post.
Cheers
Geoff

Congratulations!

First clutch for the season is quite often infertile though

Flashy incubator setup you have though! Im sure you will be getting many more clutches!

 

[guff_man]

Oh really? That sucks. Was hoping all would go to plan. What happens to the eggs if they are infertile?

 

[Jay84]

If they are infertile they will usually collapse in a few days or go mouldy. Get a very small LED torch and just hold it on the side of the egg, if it is fertile you should be able to see a couple of very small veins on the inside lining of the egg.

 

[guff_man]

Well, got a surprise this evening, went to feed them and she had laid another egg pretty stoked

 

[jamesbecker]

told ya

 

[Jay84]

Wow.... thats a long time between eggs!!!

How is the other one looking? fertile?

Fingers crossed for 2 good eggs!
