If you remember I bought you about 20 gecko last years.
one buy was 1.3 DH patternless blizzard with a possible het

do you know what age she was having?
did she was with a male once?

she gave me 2 infertile eggs 1week ago
she was trying to get them cover so she was rolling them probably
thinking it was soils.
they were VERY soft and bright white

I'm thinking to put the double het male (5yrs) for mating
while I'm looking and remove him after

here is the pics

Hello, Yes, I remember :) It was last summer.

do you know what age she was having?
did she was with a male once?

She was never bred here. She still had some growing to do.

she gave me 2 infertile eggs 1week ago

If you had seperated them when you got them, and she has not been with a male since last summer, I would suspect that they would be infertile. Some females will lay eggs even when they have not been bred....it is that time of year.

Just a tip ----> Dont write off eggs as infertile just because they are soft. All eggs are soft when they are freshly laid. They harden to thier normal leathery texture after being exposed to air. I would wait about a week and then candle the eggs with a small flashlight to see if they glow red or yellow...if yellow, they are infertile. Also make sure egg laying females have a dish of calcium available at all times.

Yes, definitly breed her to the DH Male! If you breed her to anything else you will not find out what she is this year....

If she IS in fact a DH herself, You will get Patternless, Blizzards, Normals and possibly a Banana Blizzard!
The Patternless would be possible Het for Blizzard. The Blizzards would be possible Het for Patternless and the "Normals" would be possible Het for both.

If all she produces is Patternless, and ones that look "Normal". You will know that she is just Het for Patternles. These "Normal" looking hatchlings will be Het for Patternless..possible Het for Blizzard.

There is alot to the genetics involved... learning and experiencing it is the fun part :)
I wish for you lots of happy healthy hatchlings this season!!!
If you have any questions about genetics or anything else...just ask me :)
