leisurely Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 I was wondering this when I inadvertantly interuppted what I think was a moment of lust between two little Gecks. I am used to seeing them quarrel over territory but they were wound around each other. This got me thinking, do they lay eggs or deliver live young? I am assuming eggs because I think that they are reptiles. Please put me out of my misery. I did try googling, but didn't get anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farma Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 They lay little white eggs about the size of a frozen pea. Some geckos glue the eggs to a surface and others leave their eggs loose. Sometimes you can see the eggs in geckos if light is shining from the right direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitmig Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Yes, like Farma said, sometimes you see the eggs inside the gecko. I find them everywhere in my house, collect them (to avoid damage) and put them in a bowl with tissues. In time the small gecko's slip out of the eggs.

bina Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 some reptiles are live breeders also... some snakes and some lizards and some female snakes retain sperm and rebreed themselves sort of , months later (turkeys also do that btw!) google kingsnake.com or something like that a great reptile site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samtam Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 I love the geckos (chekchak), and am always amused to find them scurrying about the kitchen when I go in unexpectedly. I sometimes have to resuce the younger ones who go into the sink and can't seem to get out, because of the water on the sides. I haven't seen any eggs, but they do leave their droppings around, (and they're not white). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerbeer Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 i found something like that in our house. lots of it around the compound but one of them stuck within the house. kinda tried to get it out of the house but started "screaming" at me ! how dangerous are these things? does it bite when handed with bare hands? amazing the noises that can come out of them.

Farma Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 The big ones are called Tokay. Do a search for Tokay on this site and you'll find plenty of threads about them. This thread has some good pics in it. http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/index.php?sh...75&hl=tokay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have any of that white plastic trunking for electrical wires in your house, open it up and you will almost certainly find some gecko eggs...
