Do gecko eggs have to be in light?

Leopard Gecko eggs are leathery and white. Infertile eggs are an off yellow.

The leopard gecko will lay her eggs 20-40 days after copulating.

Well it depends what type of gecko it is. all gecko eggs are different.

you should keep gecko eggs at approx. 80-90 degrees Fahrenheit

gecko eggs are known to be soft

the gecko eggs should be white and if any yellow or pink that means they are rotten or unfertile

No. Without a male they cannot produce eggs.

well if you take precautions before the eggs are lade you shouldn't have to do much when the time for the egg laying comes. leopard gecko: take out current bedding and put 3-4 inches of sand in the cage and something for the gecko to hide under (log,bridge) and put a heat pad on the underside of the cage and turn it one. when the eggs are being laid the female will dig a hole in the sand and lay her eggs. while this is happening put a towel over the cage and turn off the light. peek under the towel every 20 minutes and check and see if the eggs have finished being laid. if they have take the towel off but don't turn back on the light, the heating pad will provide heat for the eggs and the leopard gecko after 8 hours turn the light back on and resume caring for your lizard normally DO NOT REMOVE LEOPARD GECKO FROM CAGE UNTIL EGGS HAVE HATCHED ! Sorry i could only provide info on leopard gecko, i will edit if i get info on other geckos

You incubate the eggs for 6-12 weeks

If your gecko is an egg-layer, her stomach will be larger than usual, and if you shine a light on her, you may be able to see a faint outline of the eggs. If your gecko is born live, she will lie around in the sun a lot, and she will have most of the same characteristics as an egg-layer.

A gecko does not create a nest but instead they will burrow their eggs into damp soil. Some species of gecko will "glue" their eggs to a hard surface.

It may be easier to replicate the living conditions and incubate the eggs in a seperate container.

Most gecko species seek out a dark, damp area to lay their eggs. Females will deposit two hard shelled eggs anywhere from 3-6" deep in moist soil. These eggs can then take anywhere from 30-90+ days to incubate and hatch. There are few gecko species that are an exception. Some species such as the tokay gecko will "glue" two hard shelled eggs to a solid surface such as the inside of corkbark, on the underside of fallen tree's etc.. The female tokay gecko will guard her eggs until they have fully incubated. Other species such as the rough snouted gecko of the Rhacodactylus species have live babies.

When it comes time to laying eggs, gecko species will burrow into the soil and lay a clutch of hard shelled eggs about 4-8" deep in moist soil. Some species of gecko are able to stick their eggs to an object with a sticky substance surrounding the eggs and few species of gecko bear live births.

A female leopard gecko usually lays eggs once a month

You can see the eggs in their belly

They don't. They lay the eggs and then abandon them.

Depends what type of gecko it is...

my mom and dad fond gecko eggs on a trip and cared them in a Fanny pack, i did not think they wold hatch but one day the egg stared back.

Usually a healthy Leopard Gecko will lay 2 eggs. If the female is quite small then you can expect one egg. On rare occasions females have been known to lay 3 eggs at a time

This sounds like the Giant Day Gecko.

This all depends on the specie of the gecko, how long does it take to reach maturity? How big is the gecko at adulthood? what are the temperatures? Typically, most gecko eggs will hatch 70-120 days to hatch.

Most species of gecko do not protect their eggs. The eggs are deposited into soil and the baby's are left to fend for them selves.

They're like little robin eggs except they're white.

No, the gecko would know when to get out of the light. Its a leopard gecko.
