My male is missing. Very sad!!! I made it down 2 floors into my garage but i cant find him. I accidently stepped on him one night. Barely though and he screemed and took of running. That was the last i ever saw of him.

Only good news is i should be getting a second clutch of eggs soon and the first batch is doing great.

Got a second clutch of eggs if anyone cares. First one should be hatching soon. I cant wait. NO sign of the male though. What is the average time for incubation for tucson bandeds?? Ive had them for 41 days

[GoldenGateGeckos]

What temperature are you incubating them?

[strikedistance]

82-82

hope he doesn't get out and mate with all the so cal banded geckos. haha

They could hatch any day now, but you'd be on the lower end of the time frame. Id say 40-70 days. more like 60.

good luck!

thanks i ment 82-83 and im in redondo beach its all paved over. I see only rural alligator and fence lizards

[GoldenGateGeckos]

At 82-83 degree incubation temperatures, you can expect your bandeds to hatch in approximately 56 days.

First baby hatched this morning. Geez they are so small. I didn't realize it was going to be that small. Im used to larger geckos lol. Well thats 49 days for the first egg. Can i keep the two together? pin head crickets fine? I haven't raised this small of a lizard in a long time so thanks for your help.

Congratulations! Yes, they are VERY tiny little babies!!! I house my clutchmates together and feed them 1-2 week crickets and really small mealworms. Keep an eye on them for their first shed, they sometimes have difficulty if it's not humid enough.

How many days should i wait before i feed him? Also a small kritter keeper is fine right?
