Hi

I posted them in the Australian section - but thought I would put them in here as well as this is really the section for them.

Incubation period was 155 days @ 25 degrees.

What kind of length and weight have they got? Congrats!

New pic - not the best sorry.

Measurements are roughly between 7-8cm long, snout to tail tip.

I dont weigh my babies as I can see that they are eating.

Ari,beautiful pics.I am curious if you have seen use of the tail as a prehensile appendage by either the parents or the babies?Thanks,Marcus.Great job on the breeding and incubation too.

Louisiadensis seems to have no prehensile tail use at all.

Today 26th July 2 x more Ring Tailed juvies hatched. Thats now 5 x juvies that have hatched out now. So far 100% hatch rate on the first 3 clutches ( 1 x clutch just had 1 egg ) It is beginning to seem that an average incubation rate on the first 3 clutches is close to 150 days.

Marcus thanks mate, all breeding & incubation advice came from Geckodan....thanks once again Danny. Also as per Danny no prehensile tail use observed by myself at all.

Interesting response,as looking at that design of tail,it would lend itself to some type of prehensile function.Have either of you noticed it used to cover parts of themselves while sleeping,as some geckos with similar design of tail do this.

[geckodan]

it only coils like that as a juvenile. Coiling and lateral positioning is not the norm in an adult. They usually just hold them in a slow vertical curve.

I personally have not seen a use for the tail that is visual. It maybe used for various reason, e.g. balance & or storage.
