oxytoxin ?

[Icefire]

anyone had to gave that to their leo for them to lay?
I got a female with 3-4 eggs and wont lay them
it's been 1-2 month since she is big
she eats very well so I'm woundering if I wait or have her
injected oxytoxin..

[Matt]

just my opinion, but just let her go at her own pace, she will lay when ready. There is no need to panic.

and i am no gecko expert, but i though leos only layed 2 eggs at a time???

oh, and the hormone is called oxytocin!

good luck with her

If she has 3-4 eggs in her i'd go see the vet cause thats not normal...

[Rebecca]

Leo's usually lay only one or 2 at a time, anymore then that is a cause for a trip to the vet.

[Bartman]

well three is not commen but happens...with 4 id deffinetly be worried. Just go for a check up to make sure

Why all the worry about 4 eggs???? It is not common by any means but does happen..... Happend to me back when I first started breeding leos...... Females can hold on to eggs for a while..... My female that just laid held on to it for about 8 weeks....... Oxytocin does not always work and it is unclear what the side affects could be...... I would not play around like that just yet....... I am with Matt on this one......

Gregg M: You had one gecko who laid 4 eggs and it took 2 month?
because mine eats (I had one pinky left and it took half a second
and it was gone lol) so she still eats well. she has what a belly!
it's bigger than a Cadbury egg! (around 1.5 inch diameter)
so it seem a bit difficult for her to move a lot. she usaly hang on the heat floor.
I guess I could wait, I just don't want her to have impaction problem and which it could cause her death.
I do want to breed her (she is with a Red Stripe) and would give
nice baby but I wouldn't risk her life for that

Definently not uncommon for them to carry more than 2 eggs in them, if she's eating and otherwise alert and healthy, don't worry. Let her do her own thing.

Is she passing fecal easily??? Give it a tad bit more time then if your still worried make a vet visit.

[Icefire]

yeah she seams to pass them easily, she is with her male
they both get along verrrrrry much so I never bothered removing
him.
I'll wait, she still eat like a pig so I guess she is happy
