S. williamsi egg size...pics

[Hazpat]

one of my females layed her first clutcth, not sure when, the crickets got em and the look like they may have shriveled a bit. What I am wondering is this how big they are when they are good? if so damb thats small!!

 

[Ari]

Yep

Thats about the size of my S. Taen's eggs - so so small. Did she bury them at all or just laid them on the surface of the substrate?

they were on the surrface, Im guessing and hopeing infertal, id hate to waste good eggs

 

[Nathan Hall]

They might still be good, Pat . I always tell people they are around the size of a Jelly Belly. I'm sure that still doesn't help a lot of people, so I'll go shoot a couple of pics right now. Some of our girls lay larger eggs than others, but they are all around that size.

Going to shoot pics now...

I think texas is getting jipped on jelly beans :lol: these are smaaaallllll.
maybe a tic tac. guess I should start checking more carefully!

 

[Nathan Hall]

Jelly Belly jelly beans differ from ordinary jelly beans because of their authentic and intense flavors, the number of flavors, the smaller size, the brilliant colors and, of course, the Jelly Belly name on every bean.

Developed for the sophisticated palate, most Jelly Belly flavors use fine natural ingredients, whenever possible, to flavor the beans, i.e., chocolate, peanut butter, coconut, fruit juice concentrates and fruit purees like strawberry, pear and jalapeño pepper. These "true-to-life" flavors are mixed into the center and the shell.

They are little jelly beans, Holmes!

If I know mine are gravid - like she is now. I check whenever I walk in the room. They get dessicated really quickly if I dont.

About the size of my coggeri eggs!

 

[Ari]

Hey Ken

Are O. Coggerii the smallest in the Oedura species?

 

[Hazpat]

:lol: :lol: yep yours look like jelly beans, I think I need to buy some tic-tacs on the way home tomarrow for comparison.

 

[Ari]

Sorry forgot to ask.

When she laid did she bury them or just laid them on top of the substrate mate?

Did she lay in a moist lay box you supplied?

 

[Ken Bartenfeld]

I don't know about many of them, but from what I know what is in the US, they are the smallest oedura, there are some we can't get or don't have yet ;-) And I don't have any books on geckos yet :roll:

 

[Hazpat]

just on the regular substrate And I think she layed today when I was at work, she still looked full when I left.

I have a female that refuses to use a lay box and always buries them in the sand,and the last clutch I found was shriveled up and didn't look viable but I decided to incubate them anyway and this is the result.

Eggs are alot more durable then you think and you can never count them out.BOBBY

 

[Hazpat]

Ok Last night I noticed the other female digging, while the male was busy refirtalizing the female that layed the first clutch. So I got up early to check for eggs and found some nice jelly belly bean sized eggs :lol: Thanks for all the input.
