I meant crushed eggshells from chicken not gecko.

I really don’t think that she’s mal nourished but now you’re scaring me.. I’ll have to investigate it further. Thanx for the tip. :o)

Note on the side.. I also give crushed eggshells (from chicken) to my L. lugubris but they have no clear preference of eggshells, they eat their own aswell as the ones in the dish.

Can eggshells really be harmful to the geckoes?

Whoa Nelly, I have had Phelsuma with big calcium sacs die of hypocalcemia. MBD is a balance problem between Ca, phosphorus and D3. If your gex have big sacs then try a supplement with less D3, Dr. Susan Donoghue offers one at http://www.herpnutrition.com
I do think it is a good idea to "recycle" eggs from the Phelsuma that laid them. I just toss the eggshells just as they are after the babies come out and the females take care of the rest. ;)

It’s not lack of calcium. I provide all my geckoes finely crushed eggshells in a small dish in addition to dusting prey.

The female in question has prominent calcium sacks behind the head.

 (BTW, I think the 'egg eating' thing may be lack of calcium....but that's my own personal thought, or she was just hungry -shrugs-)
