As I posted in the other forums, I obtained Biscuit a couple months ago (see here: http://www.geckosunlimited.com/comm...fo-intros-and-pics/81541-addition-family.html). She's been skittish compared to Chickenball but she's slowly warming up to me, even climbing up my hand with a sliding finger command she tends to notice.
But the last week and a half were a bit worrisome. I've been trying to fatten her up a bit by feeding her daily (not unhealthily though, mainly crickets (85%+ of her diet), some mealworms, some silkworms and the occasional butterworm). Dusting with calcium and Repashy Calcium Plus (vitamins). She normally ate like a madwoman so when she stopped eating I thought she was just being mood. But after a few days, I became concerned. I knew she couldn't (well, very unlikely) impacted due to the diet I was feeding her. She would literally close her eyes whenever I would try to hand feed her crickets, mealworms or silkworms. After a week, I decided to put a small pinch pile of calcium in a low dish and noticed she went to lick it up.
Anyway, fast forward to today and I noticed a "new" smell. She went around scratching tiles and whatnot so I decided to open up her moist hide and I found these:
It's hard to see the 4th but there are 4 eggs there. I never put her and chickenball together so they can't be fertilized but I was surprised 4 of those could come out of her small frame.
She's back to eating like a champ.
