My bright red pair of crested geckos laid eggs a while ago, by a while ago i mean 105 day's ago! They are HUGE and white as can be. Has anyone ever had this happen before?

thanks

how are you incubating the eggs? (What kind of temps are you keeping the eggs at, and what kind of incubation substrate? etc)

The eggs are between 70-75. And i'm using perlite.

Oh theres no way i'm pullin the plug on these! I've been looking forward to this pair producing for me FOREVER!!!!

Yeah they will one day hatch and be monster cresties and eat you in your sleep and then you will wish that pair never produced for you or they could just come out being totally beautiful, normal sized cresties. I like the first idea better though.

Yeah well really I hope to see the babies soon.

i was thinking about this post last night, and remebered that i had a pair of s.petrii eggs in the incubator for just under 7 months before they hatched!!! the babies were smaller than normal aswell, which i think was part of the reason they didnt last too long..

haha that first idea is veryy........uh very creative? haha i'll post pics as soon as they hatch!

And Royal City Reptiles i remember crested lady saying that a clutch of her eggs hatched after 127 day's and the babies were totally normal. And the longer they incubate, the better chance of them being females :roll:

Thanks for replying everyone

Hi there, I had some cave gecko eggs hatch after 100-115 days at those temps, and although my keeper male is a little small for his age (at 14months old) he is perfectly healthy. Do your temps fluctuate at night? Mine were at the cool end of the vivarium, and the temps dropped to 70f at night, up to 75f during the day which I think affects the length of the incubation, as in my incubator at 75f they hatch in 70days or so.

If they look healthy then don't lose hope

I believe my temps do fluctuate at night. They go from 70-76 throughout the day/night. And my eggs are in an incubater, not the cage they were laid in.

Thanks for the help everyone!
