Default Caught in the act...

Caught this Silver Eyed female in the act of laying a clutch today. Fresh Silver Eyed eggs always make for a nice start to the day! Not the greatest of pic, but I obviously didn't want to disturb her too much:

Secondly (I have no information if this is valid) it could maybe also be because of the way they hunt. I don't know if it is just mine, but they are sneaking around, jumping forwards, and eating the food. But compared to my other geckos (which are some kind of waiting for the food to come to them) I think that mine is actually looking for it. But it could be that I am just misunderstanding their walking around.

And I tell you.. the pictures are cheating. It is looking good on the picture, but seeing them live first looking like a 5-6 cm gecko because it is rolled up, and then end up being VERY LONG AND SLIM it is just awesome specie! I can only recommend them!

Thanks guys, this was her third clutch so far this year. I'm hoping to get a few more out of her. I'll be sure to post pics up when they start to hatch out.

And Lars, yes, I agree, felinus are a VERY cool species to work with. I'm really surprised at the fact that they aren't more popular here in the US. But at least you guys over seas have a good appreciation for them!
