Most of the time you can, but sometimes the mother will eat her babies. I used to have two leopard geckos. 1 male 1 Female, and they had an egg here and there. Unfortunately the eggs weren't fertile enough to strive. I'm not really sure if you can keep a baby with its mother.

Which ever side the egg is laid on, it should be removed a few days after lay. An egg has a much better success rate in an incubator because we are able to regulate temperatures and readings.

When do leopard geckos have there eggs?
A female leopard gecko usually lays eggs once a month
Does the leopard gecko's mom leave as soon as they are born?
The mum lays the eggs then leaves. She doesn't wait for them to hatch. The hatchlings have to cope on their own.
How long does it take for leopards gecko eggs take to hatch?
It can take 60-120 days for leopard gecko eggs to hatch depending on what conditions they are incubated in. The warmer the temperatures, the sooner the eggs should hatch.
Does a male leopard gecko and a female leopard do well together?
yes if you want eggs and baby lizards to take care of, which is extremely difficult.
Where does a leopard gecko need to lay its' eggs?
Not sure if this is a serious question, but leopards are mammals, which means they give birth to live offspring...not eggs.
Is leopard gecko prolapse like parasites?
No, a leopard gecko prolapse is similar to a hernia in humans. It is when part of the intestines, uterus, or hemipenis pertrudes through the anal area. It can be caused by parasites, constipation or difficulty laying eggs
Can you cut leopard gecko eggs?
Just like chicken eggs, you can but they won't hatch. And I don't like it when you kill he babies so please don't.
What does it mean when leopard gecko digs in the cage?
Well, you're probably in for a surprise. In other words, your leopard gecko is pregnant! If you've never had any other leopard geckos in the aquarium (or wherever you keep it) then the egg will never hatch, it's just a cycle some leopard geckos go through, and is not uncommon. No need to worry, just remove the egg; but if you have had another leopard gecko in the cage before, it was probably a male, even if you thought otherwise, as this can be tricky. If this is so, you should put a small container of fresh aspen shavings or the moss you can get, but not the sand (this can be hazardous for baby leopard geckos). Hopefully, your gecko will lay her egg in the container, and you should remove that and place them in an incubator (directions at http://www.albeysreptiles.com/incubate-eggs.htm). Continue to follow the directions at that website, and you will find what you need. If the eggs are not in the container, carefullyremove the eggs by taking all that is under it and gently placing it in the container. Try to incubate them, following the directions given earlier, but it will normally be too late by then. Hope your hatchlings-to-be will do well!
Can a female leopard gecko have babies without a male?
A female leopard gecko will lay eggs every 4-6 weeks during the spring and summer (mating season) regardless of them being fertilized or not. Much like a chicken laying eggs, they ovulate periodically throughout the year. If the female has not been introduced to a male, the eggs will be a "dud" meaning there is no live gecko inside the egg. In most cases, these eggs will become shriveled up and decompose within the terrarium and not too many keepers even notice them in there. If you do find that your leopard gecko is laying duds, it's best to offer them a higher protein/fatty diet. Their calcium levels will deplete over time due to the extra calcium going into their eggs. Offer dusted wax worms or butter worms during the ovulation season.
How long does it take for a female leopard gecko to produce more eggs after she laid eggs?
Most hobbyists reffer to being pregnant as "egg bound" or "fertile" with crested geckos. A crested gecko will lay the eggs 30-45 days after copulation. After the eggs have been deposited, they will incubate 60-120 days depending on temperature.
Do leopards lay eggs?
If you have a mature male and a female leopard gecko, the female can become pregnant (gravid). She will usually carry two eggs at a time and will need a laying box to lay her eggs in. Books on leopard gecko care will tell you what type of laying box to provide. After a short incubation period, the eggs should hatch.
Can you leave your goldfish in the tank with eggs?
no it is best to remove the eggs with the plant that the eggs are on otherwise the parents will eat the eggs
