Re: [gecko]quarantined Uroplatus ebenaui possibly gravid

Hey Mike,

Just to note, when Uros are feeling good and are healthy they will not 
just lay anywhere. Anywhere laying in these geckos is a sign something 
is not right.

Thanks for the reply. I never know what to expect from different geckos. I
have spent all my time with desert types that learning a forest gecko is a
sort of adventure ;o) Some of my gecko species will lay anywhere, but the
others hold on until the laying site is just perfect.

Hi Mike,

I don't think there are any worries here if you are using a good
supplementation and she drops these in the normal time period. Usually
during times of stress the eggs are not well formed ("slugs") and are
laid pretty much anywhere, on leaves, out in the open.

First, thanks to Neil and everyone else who helped me with my "sick" U.
ebenaui pair. I'm just waiting on the second fecal but they are doing
     

fine.
 

Anyway, I weigh the geckos regularly for piece of mind and they have
recovered a lot in the past 6 weeks.
My question: I think the female may be gravid by the feel of her abdomen
     

and
 

the diproportional weight gain. I never planned to breed these so I'm not
worried too much about the eggs but will this prove problematic for the
female? She is in a Tupperware container with paper towel and PVC tubes
     

to
 

hide in. Is this the kind of gecko that won't lay unless she can bury the
eggs?
Thanks for any opinions.

Mike
