I have a female chinesse cave gecko with no males in her cage,yet she keeps laying eggs how is this possible?

Question

Is this what the females are made to do?

Answer 1

Same as a chicken, if no male is presant and she is laying eggs? the aeegs are not fertle and will not hatch. Chicken and ducks do the same thing.

Answer 2

yes many species of geckos and lizards will lay eggs without a male present. They will be infertile. Some species are capable of retaining sperm and if she was wild caught the first few may have been fertile. Make sure to dust her prey with calcium as the egg shells deplete her.

Answer 3

I don't know but know someone with a bird that lays eggs with no male. It could be stress, and in any case the eggs are not fertile.

Answer 4

confident, and he or she guards the eggs actual nicely. you're able to be able to desire to purchase a egg incubator for the eggs. Ask a veterinarian that might assist you. men commonly have wider heads, even though it relies upon on the form of gecko. like i mentioned, she would be in a place to lie eggs with no male, even though it commonly would not ensue.

Answer 5

any thing can lay eggs with out a male , their just not fertile.Let me ask you a question does a chicken need a rooster to lay an egg?

Answer 6

I know some species of frogs can reproduce asexually. Meaning no male has to be present for them to have fertilized eggs.

Answer 7

most geckos can jus keep laying eggs, like birds, but they are not fertile. they just basically have to get rid of them. does she eat them? or jus let them rot....or do they actually have babies inside?

Answer 8

Answer 9

the fertilization usually happens after an egg has been laid.

Answer 10
