Gravid?

[FatalMrChow]

Is she gravid or could I be wrong?

Yes, I believe she is. Give her a place to dig with coco fiber. I have hatched 7 so far with great variation in how long they took to hatch. The first 4 were incubated at about 83 and hatched in 47-58 days. The next 3 were in a container on a lower shelf so they were incubated a degree or 2 lower. they hatched in 64-73 days. Banded geckos, unlike leopard geckos, do not seem to be temperature sexable. I have generally gotten about 50/50 males and females. Currently, the 4 that are sexable are two M/F pairs, though I have had a run of males or females in the past.

Ok thank you. I will have to buy some more caging, might invest in a rack system who knows lol. I appreciate all the 8nformation. What temperature do I keep the coco fiber at cause I donot want to be too hot where she will burn herself because she does hide behind her tub of sphangnum moss now? Will she lay in sphangnum moss? I do have hatch rite medium and deli cups and an incubator already.

She will either lay in the sphagnum or the coco fiber. You'll just have to keep digging it up to see if there are eggs. I use a thermostat to keep the floor of the enclosure in the low 90's and this works well.

Ok so I don't need any other supplemental heat to warm the sphangnum moss besides the belly heat already in place? I will get a hold of some coco fiber. I appreciate you giving me al this information

No problem. Good luck with them.
