    Surprise babies! :D

    Hi everybody, I just bought a female Bell Albino this evening from a craigslist ad to breed to my male Bell next season, only to find out that shes more than likely already going to lay some eggs within the next couple of weeks! I'm so excited but none of my breeding projects were supposed to start until next year so I'm a tad nervous and I'm not sure exactly what to think.. She seems healthy and the guy said she had already laid not too long ago.
    I already have a hovabator and a bag of hatchrite, so im ready in that field.
    I just need to know what do I need to do for momma so she can lay her eggs? I made a lay box and am giving her calcium and a multi-vit. How big should the box be? and Is there anything else I need to know? Thanks to everyone ho can help!
    Oh! and she was bred to a high yellow? so what would that make the babies? normals, and/or high yellow het. albinos? lol again new to this.

    lay boxes arent necasary so thats all just extra for her. ive never heard of a high yellow albino, maybe high contrast? It just means the babies will nicer looking. Although the term is overused alot imo so the quality of the babies you hatch could really vary.

    I agree with the above poster^, pics or it didnt happen!

    High yellow to my knowledge means exactly that, they have a high amount of yellow lol. It's more of. Descriptor really than an actual morph for the most part.

    Heh, congrats!!

    I've never bred my leos, but I have had experience with eggs... the infertile kind, anyway. Another thing you can do to help her is daily soaking. Not too deep- about 1/2-3/4 inches (depending on the size of the gecko) of warm water. If it's too deep, she'll skitter as geckos don't really swim. It'll take a while to get used to, but mine love a good soak!

    Best of luck!

    lmao. Disregard my first post, i thought this was in the bp section. I thought it was weird that you gave your snake a lay box lmao! Now it all makes sense!

    Yes to my knowledge leos definetly do use lay boxes.
