So that was really, really unexpected.

So I had been noticing some odd corner dwelling habbits by the large year or so old crested gecko we own. Having gotten it out and looked it over, nothing looked extremely abnormal, no other abnormal tendencies - so I didn't think much of it. He had been a bit on the fatter side, but I had been away for a month, and figured the people I left him in the care of had over fed him a bit.

This Gecko defiantly looked to be male. I did not have it professionally sexed. I just looked up several resources, and had a friend of mine (That knows lizards quite well) look at him, and he certainly agreed with me. Not having another lizard (Until recently) , and not ever really planning on breeding, this info was good enough for me.

Until I came home tonight and found this.



Those are eggs.
This lizard has never been paired with another, so I assume they are infertile -
but I am completely new to this, how should I remove them with out negatively effecting the lizard?
How do I make 100 % sure they are infertile ... on the odd chance that something crazy did happen.

Very good questions wish i could help. Hopefully someone with experience will be able to help you.

I wouldn't immediately discount them as being infertile. (Though that is the most likely possibility.) I'm not sure, but I may have read somewhere that cresteds can reproduce via parthenogenesis.

Edit: After a quick Google search, it would appear that they can.

Don't throw them out just yet...I believe they can harbor sperm for a while after mating, or at least Beardies can. Can you take a pic of the eggs out of that corner? It may help to see if they are fertile or infertile.
