I found a ghost!! (pictures)

I opened a felinus box, and found a ghost! *boohoo*

This is the "ghost" - the biggest one so far, and 99% sure a female

This is the one with the most pattern (but the others are improving!). Also rather big, and 99% sure a female... (ps. the worm is pretty big for that size of worm to be!!!)

This is the smallest one eating a 15 mm dubia roach! HOPEFULLY this is a male!

Those are some awesome geckos

Like the worm eating pic!

Nice pics Lars! I've never been able to get any of my felinus to eat worms of any kind...or dubia for that matter. Do yours eat them on a regular basis? That bottom picture looks like a male to me. He's much more slender looking than the other two. If you post up a couple of pics of his vent area I might be able to give you a more certain opinion. Glad to see everyone's doing well still!

Thanks for the nice comments, everyone!

Ethan: The roaches I have been feeding whenever possible as I have loads of them from a friend of mine. Crickets are not always available

- The worms I tried yesterday, and they took it (two of them). I didn't feed the third due to the shedding

I hope it is a male! However he is two months younger than the big ones. I will try to post pictures of (hopefully) "him"

Are you hand feeding them or something? I don't think I've ever heard of anyone getting them to eat either of those. Mine only eat lateralis or crickets. Never had any luck with any other feeders.

Not handfeeding, but close. I put thr food in front of them so the geckos can see them. That works fine. However I feed them really late (1:30 in the night) so they are fully wake and on the move.

hey those are some awesome pictures!! *jealousy* I just got my first Cat gecko, and I know they like running water so my mom went out too her thrift store and found a not used running water fountain, for cats... I figured if I could gecko proof this and cover it in some Bed a' Beast. Do you think that could work out?

Sommer · #9 09-04-2009, 06:03 PM

I personally haven't any running water, and actually it is usually said that it is more or less one big bacteria-bomb. For these geckos I am not sure I would recommend it.

But I think we need Ethan, Matjaz or some other experienced gecko keepers for a more bulletproof recommedation! I am still rather new in all this.
