Well when I acuired my female Stenodactylus sthenodactylus (I think that's what she is) she was gravid, she had a clutch of 4 eggs. 2 sadly died so now I have 3 of these guys (mum and 2 babys). On inspecting my female I have noticed she is gravid again, which means she concieved via her own babys, if this bad? Also, I need help difining what species they are here's a few pics...

I have not had any experces with these geckos but alot of geckos can retain sperm for quite some time. Also the babies look to young to be mature how old are they. good luck

Hi,
yes they can retain sperm for a long time; and yes, they are S. sthenodactylus.
congrats!

I have only dealt with this in leopard geckos but I assume that it applies to multiple species. My guess would be retained sperm, but I would think it would also be just normal ovulation, so maybe they would end up being infertile. Anyways, I agree and I would place money on retained sperm. Very cute little gecko.

oh ok so she could still be gravid? that wouuld be really good. The juvies are quite old now i'd say something like 6-9 months.

if the juvies are males, at 9 months they are already able to fertilize the female...
but it's safer to wait they have one year old for try.
