Hey everyone! I haven't posted on here in quite a while, but I have a quick question about my 2 mourning geckos.

They both appear to be gravid now, so here is my question: From the time they become gravid, how long does it generally take for them to actually lay their eggs? They have appeared gravid for about 3 weeks now and I'm just wondering when I can expect to see eggs. Thanks in advance!

"Seufer (1995) indicates that the geckos lay eggs every 14-60 days. Nietzke ( 1998 ) mentions nearly the same intervals ( 14-63 days ). Brown and O' Brian ( 1993 ) reported that smaller females required more time between egg development and laying. Clutches usually contain 2 eggs."

Thanks for the info. I'm thinking these eggs may take a bit longer than usual to develop, since this is their very first "batch".
