Default Cat gecko burying eggs
My cat gecko has been laying eggs almost exactly every 60 days the past 3 times she has laid. I looked in the cage and she was in the corner burying the eggs so I decided to record it with my camera so here is a link to it.

Yeah I thought it was pretty crazy I had never seen a gecko use their eggs as a shovel like that at all. Has anyone else seen any other type of gecko using an egg like that?

Excellent footage!! I wonder if that's how my cresties got their eggs under some tight spots? If those eggs hatch I guess the 'being careful not to turn the eggs' theory is out the window. Although some say that it's fine to rotate them until they settle in a bit.

I look forward to seeing some pics of the babies when they hatch. How long is the incubation period for these eggs?

Wow, I knew they rotated/dried them, but using it as a tool is insane! (or at least it looks like she's using it as a tool). Thank you for taking video and sharing. Really neat....
