It took me awhile to find this information to verify what I remembered. According to Elizabeth Freer (aka Mother Gecko) and other internet sources...

All female geckos can develop infertile eggs without mating. Hence, females need a nestbox/warm moist hide in which to lay those eggs. Definitely place dampened moss inside their warm moist hide.

If a female gecko becomes egg-bound, eventually the eggs begin to rot inside. This infection leads to septicemia then death.


Since you already do have the moist hide, make sure there is about 2 inches of moss so that your little girl has a place she feels comfortable laying her eggs.

If the egg is bound up, you will have to take her to the vet to get the egg removed.
