I see one thing you can correct - that is cuttlebone Ca supplementation. Cuttlebone is derived from ocean sources of Ca, which are high in a toxic chemical (blanking on which one, help gexers!) found in ocean fish and other sea life. You can get a pure pharmaceutical grade Ca from http://www.herpnutrition.com . I put this in small dishes for my female geckos in addition to their regular supplements. What is your supplementation regimen? This is something you can definitely adjust, a problem with oviducts and reproductive system you will need a non-domestic vet's help if that is the problem. There are a million vitamin supplements on the market, most are not appropriate for geckos.

After posting this question in my Bibrons gecko post I got to thinking about it and I thought I'd focus on it.
I have had my spider gecko female for a year and a half. She was a juvenile when I got her (born the end of 2001). Last year she produced 2 egg clutches until the end of the season when they dropped to one egg. I didn't think much of it but this season she began with single egg clutches. There have been three so far (I accidently destroyed 2 of them as I mentioned before). For the first and second clutches this year, she produced a viable egg followed by an infertile egg a week or so later.
Does anyone have any idea of why this is so? I am a tiny bit worried she might have some kind of problem in her oviducts or something. She has a lot of extra calcium by way of powdered cuttlefish bone so I don't think it's that. I might try the vet at some time but I don't see how he would check for that.
Thanks for any input.
Mike
