Bibrons Eating Eggs?
I had two gravid C.bibroni expecting them to lay yesterday which they did, upon
looking for the eggs i didn't find any, search through the sand and all other options and no trace of the eggs.
I suspect the large male may have eaten them as i found some small pieces of shell is this plausible?

Tyrone,
I'd assume that the female ate them rather than the male. It has been observed in many gecko species that females eat their unfertilised eggs to resorb the "wasted" calcium (e.g. Phelsuma sp.). I'm lacking experience with C. bibronii and never kept any other Chondrodactylus species than C. angulifer, but this might be an explanation.
Best,
Christian

Thanks Christian , I'm not sure why i didn't assume the female at first i have infact seen
that with my P.formosus.
Looks like another one of my female C.bibronii is gravid so i may get another chance for some viable eggs.
Cheers.
Tyrone.

Definitely send some here, we'll find room for them 
I also have a turner gecko female who ate some of her eggs on the first year she laid clutches. I assume they were not fertilized

Bibroni will definitely eat unfertile eggs. I've had 3 females for years, and they will eat the unfertile or "bad" eggs pretty often.
