ok so just now i was letting my mind run amuck and i realized i wanted to ask you guys a silly question...
Are leopard gecko's good mothers? now i am guessing no but i didn't have a for sure answer in my head lol do they care for the eggs at all after they are laid? or for the baby's when they hatch for that matter? what do they do with the eggs do they Barry them and leave them? anyways i thought i would get that answered so i can have more knowledge in me brain thanks!

Nope, they lay them and then move on with their lives. I think some do a good job of burying them though haha if that counts.

LOL, there is no such thing as a silly question but Jessica is right, they lay them and walk away as if nothing happened. Not much mothers instinct there.

About only thing they do is they will try to cover the eggs up a bit, have seen them dig a hole and move substrate over them after they are laid. They also tend to stay with the eggs for a lil bit. But they most definitely don't care for the eggs or hatchlings in any way.

Although strange thing is some people have reported seeing fresh hatchlings running around in there with the mother, apparently somehow they missed the eggs and they still hatched. I'm personally surprised the moms didn't eat the hatchlings.
