    Question deformity

    I have a gargoyle gecko with some type of deformity by her spine. I was wondering what you guys think if she could pass eggs or not?
    I would like to use her to try and breed but not if she would be hurt from it :/

    It's hard to see. it's on her lower back on her left side. a small bump, maybe a kink?

    It is hard to see but in general I wouldn't breed an animal with a defect particularly if it has been present since birth as it may end up being genetic. Has the bump always been there?

    I got her as a juvenile and didn't even notice it at first. someone told me it looks like a deformity from incubating the eggs too high

    I would not risk it. If she cant pass eggs you will have more trouble than the babbies are worth and then if it is genetic it would be harmeful to them as well
    Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.
