Baby geckos?

[hellishdream]

So I was noticing the Leopard Geckos were acting kinda different lately but I assumed it was the sudden return to a schedule with the new day light lamp and timer we got

I believe some lizards can be parthenogenic. You should probably let the eggs be for the moment and see if the lizards will care for it. There's probably all sorts of books out there that can help you out.

Lizards can also lay eggs that are not viable.
We have a single Asian water dragon. It had laid two clutches of eggs (the first was 7, the current one looks like 12 - which is phenomenal since the eggs appear to have a larger volume of displacement than the lizard... but she did it). There is no chance for her to be fertilized, but as Joe said some lizards can produce viable eggs without fertilization.

Also, in the wild most lizards lay their eggs in a suitable spot and walk away.... there is no care needed... Although they may eat the young when they hatch if you don't move them.

Lizards, if I am not mistaken, are neat in that baby lizards are the same as adult lizards, only smaller. So what the adults eat should be good for the babies... but I would double-check that advice before taking it if your eggs hatch.

the problem really is what do i do with more geckos? my terrarium isn't big enough for 3 or 4 lizards.

So do I sell them if I can? Try to give them away as gifts?

If they happen to hatch.

That is a problem I cannot assist you with. If the two you have are both females then, most likely, none of the eggs will hatch... so it will be a moot point. We don't expect any of the 12 eggs in our lizard's home to hatch, either..... but we won't have a means to support them if they do.... so I understand your query/situation.
