 Help Please Help!!!!!

I have eggs. I thought Tinker might be gravid but she never went off of food. She never really was digging around in her EGG Laying box. I actually found them on accident when cleaning her cage. Now the one is stuck to the container! What do I do. Please Help.

I got the egg unstuck. I have them in some moist moss in a Timberline Mealworm (small container) container right now in Tinker’s tank at 83 degrees. I can’t find a constant area in her tank to keep that that isn’t A) too hot or B) too cold. Becuase it’s not climbing again.

I think she laid the eggs last night (since I did a complete change of her moss yesterday afternoon). Although Tinker never gave me any signs that she was about to lay eggs. She was a little more active in her enclosure, but I was placing that along the lines that she was just use to her surrounding now, since I have had her about three weeks.

A) She never went off eating. She munched down crickets every day (including yesterday)
B) She never dug out moss from her hide, like she was getting ready to bury them. Complete shock that she laid them because of that. (Although mom’s gecko’s decided the other day they didn’t like the moss in their hide and kicked it all out, they aren’t gravid or anything not even close to breeding age or size I think).

So yeah two eggs here.

I’m worried about the one, it just doesn’t seem full, and kinka crinkled (eggs less then a day old)
The other, when I moved it looked plump but now it looks like it has a slight dent. (83.5 degrees on them).

Well here’s a picture of the eggs:



So much for the vet telling me last Friday she didn’t think Tinker was gravid.

Congrats Shutterstud! ^.^

I hope the egg will turn out okay. ^-^

Mimiru’s first clutch had an egg stuck as well, it turned out to start bleeding as it expanded. =(

’Twas a no-go.

Anyways, keep a nice close watch on them. =)

Was the vet a reptile expert, or just an ordinary vet?

She was a reptile specialist. But Tinker was also in full shed when I brought her in. She also found the pinworms so not going to complain too much. Besides I had forwarning that Tinker could be gravid since she was full grown sharing a tank with a full grown (marked giant) male, so figured my chances where at least 50/50.

Ah okay, I see, that could be a reason with the shed, not positive about that one though.
Hehe, that is good that she found those nasty little pinworms. ^-^ Did she say how long it would take until they were gone, is Tinker going to get a check-up soon to make sure everything is going well?

Oh, who was the one who warned you about the gravid-ness?

50/50 huh.

Little eggies. ^.^ She’ll probably have a few more clutches or more.

the safes way is to not pull them apart, doing so will resut in one or both eggs tearing. just put them in the incubator, and leave them together.
