Default Pregnant ATF?

Well I originally thought Charlie was a boy but I think I might just be proved wrong. Charlie has been getting increasingly jumpy, any time I go to pick Charlie up it scares him, until he has a chance to smell and lick my fingers, never had this problem before. I noticed today while holding Charlie that his stomach is getting fatter, and there are two white-ish egg shaped patches on his belly just above the tail that I don't believe were there before. The last time Charlie was with another gecko was in the pet store approximately two+ months ago. I tried getting a picture but it was very difficult, Charlie never did like belly being exposed. Is it possible I was wrong about Charlie's sex and I may have gecko eggs on my hands soon?

Maybe, it could be possible. Maybe sure you're giving her lots of calcium and vitamins so she remains healthy throughout the process. Read up on breeding geckos and learn all you can about making a lay box for her. If she looks far along then you don't want to disturb her much, or she'll just stress and hold the eggs in. Just trust her to know what she's doing

If you choose to keep the eggs and try to hatch them then you'll have to get an incubator and read up on how to properly incubate the eggs. There are threads all over the place on here that explain everything in detail.

To take a picture of Charlie's belly, put him/her in a deli cup and take a picture from underneath it.

One of my AFT's just laid eggs. It was obvious that she had eggs. I saw them very clear in the belly as two white bulbs!

ReptiRutger where in the belly were her's? and how long were they visible for? Charlie has two, right above the tail, one a bit higher than the other one. They are a bit firmer than the rest of her belly.

Near the tail indeed. They aren't always on the same spot. Sometimes they are lower in the belly, sometimes higher. A week before she laid them I could see them very clearly. Before that it just looked like two firm white bulbs in the shape of an egg.
