Y’all remember Dolly’s Partho egg?

Well I’ve not mentioned yet, but over the last few months we’ve had what looks like partho again, start forming the black (baby), then going funny and when you cut open it’s this weird ‘mass’. Unsure what to call it, a foetus that didn’t form? But egg like shape?…Its strange.

But seems she’s trying to give us babies bless her, wish you could tell her not to worry! :upside_down_face:

If you don’t mind my asking, at what point did you cut the egg?

Once it’s ‘fully formed’ with the moving one I posted up a while back.

And also at other points when I saw no movement again. There’s eye sockets etc and you can see where starting to form but then becoming a mass?..
I don’t even know best way to explain this to be honest, it’s so bloody weird!

So any fertile from her again I’m gonna try other ways of incubating I think.
So think I need to put her alone…

That’s SO WEIRD. Are they both definitely from her? Is she not breeding? Sorry, loads of questions. She’s determined!

Not breeding no.
She laid a partho back along, was then paired to Greg, saw a lock then removed after. I got 3 babies from her and him.
Nothing since and now partho again as others were infertile. It’s a mix of infertile and partho…

How do you know it’s not retained sperm? Has it been that long? This is fascinating. :flushed:

Did the eggs look different to usual?

I’m wondering if one of my Geckos is laying patho eggs! She was paired but Is isn’t laying as often as expected but still laying eggs, her eggs are incubating but were more an infertile colour but had the ring in at beginning (so I thought) and the eggs have definitely grown but still not hatched and on 3 months.

How long does it usually take for a crested gecko to leave the egg? I just had one poke its head out and I’m watching it right now waiting for it to hatch. I’m positive that it’s alive because I’ve seen its head move. Usually they hatch quickly but does each gecko just do its own thing? I know that baby geckos don’t move much and will sit in the same place for hours (maybe absorbing yolk or something like that), so could that be what’s happening?
I’m trying to get a video of it hatching so I’m just sitting here watching the baby through my camera waiting for it to start coming all the way out of the egg.

Not yet, I’ve seen it move a little bit, should I try to open the egg up more?

Yes defo,
I will watch if I catch and if not out in a few minutes then I either give a lil push on bottom of egg or pull open.
Usually they shoot out quick.

Here are some pictures! I love the head pattern and tail on this one.





I took a few minutes of video and here are some frames I pulled from it.







These are the low resolution pictures. If anyone wants to see the high res. ones I can upload some (but too many and my computer will crash, lol).
