Surprise Leo Eggs!

[DeabGex]

My girlfriend purchased a new female stripe leo about 5 days ago now, and today I walked in to find eggs in her cage! They are round and white and appear full, that is they seem fertile but they were not in a lay box since we didnt expect eggs, they were just in her hide. I put them into a makeshift incubator but is there any chance at all they produce babies? and advice at all is appreciated thanks!

:yikes:Are you keeping them moist? If you aren't keeping them moist they will dry up within hours.
What are the temps?

i have them in a tupperware with .8 water to perlite mixture, and the temp is about 84 or 85 right now, i just wanted to be sure whats right since i have never had eggs before

You're set then, by the way, do you know what type she was in with at the pet store?
Post some pics when they hatch!
Can't wait to see 'em,

Sorry I jumped to conclusions, just wanted to make sure they would be alright.:blushing:

Thanks for the advice. but it turned out to be her tangerine that laid the eggs, we got her at a reptile show so we have no idea what she had been housed with, hopefully we will know when they hatch, the weird thing is she hasnt been with a male for almost a month now, but the eggs appear fertile? im confused, lol

They can retain sperm. THey can also have eggs that look good even if they aren't fertilized. You'll need to candle them to see if they are indeed fertile.
