Re: [Gecko] 3 eggs?

[Racodactylus]

A lot of gecko species can ovulate more than the normal amount of eggs.  Uroplatus henkeli, for instance, routinely lay 4 eggs.  I myself have had Cyrtopodion scaber and Tropiocolotes tripolitanus lay 2 eggs in a clutch, and these are species that should lay only one.  I've also had a Phelsuma laticauda laticauda with 4 eggs in her at one time!  However, they were not all the same age -- two were ready to be laid, and the others were still small.

I think it's a matter of a food abundance coupled with over supplemention.  Be careful though, the normal clutch size already puts a lot of tork on the female's body, and egg binding is a realistic possibility (as was the case with my female C. scaber).
