 Second clutch and a question

last night, while feeding the gecks, I notice that Oya, my female whom I’m breeding, looked alot thinnner than a few days ago. I looked through the substrate, and having not found a clutch right away, I thought it was loss of weight due to missing a day of feeding (I got stuck away from home longer than I thought). but low and behold, I discovered two eggs.

This will be the second clutch that she layed with me, and I’m so excited. Not quite sure what night she layed them on, and I’m asuming the substrate discolored them slightly since I’m using a small bin of peat. The first clutch I watched her lay them so they are a nice shade of white.

My question is this...the second clutch is layed aproximately 26-28 days from the first clutch(28 days being if she layed them sometime during sunday). I know it’s been said that 35 is the magic number, and if there is any concerns from laying the clutch sooner than expected. Thats al I needed to know really. Oh and just so your not disapointed, here are pics of mom and dad




This is Oya, the mommy. She’s a high contrast, possible halloween, harley with out spots




This is Wulbari, the daddy. He’s a grey/olive dalmation that turns a chocolate black in the sun

 Second clutch and a question

the only issue there may be is that shes a bit tired after laying them but thats with any clutch.. the time between clutches isnt always the same.. some will be longer some shorter... but theres really not much to worry about if they lay a bit sooner than expected
