Just found my first Silver Eyed cat of 2010 hatching out...

Will post more later once he's actually out of the egg and cruising around

Derek, sorry I haven't gotten in touch with you lately about doing a trade. I'm still very much into it and I still have all my late holdbacks from last year. I just figure at this point we're both best off waiting until they're sexable. Shouldn't really be much longer. You have so many other geckos to work with though...I think you should just sell me off your silver eye collection!

Good work! I love cat geckos. They might be my next species!!!

Here's this guy a few days later. I guess he's not sure if he's felinus or tokay!!!

He's a Tokinese - tokay felinus

Cute little gaffer.

I've had a lot of other people tell me that their felinus (silver eyes in particular) are fairly grumpy. But this is the first one I've ever had that was actually aggressive at all. All the others that I've had and hatched have been very mellow. This guy came out of the egg barking and snapping though! He even actually bit me a few times! Quite the little firecracker!

Hey Ethan,

Do you have any idea where/what the white tip on the tail is related to or where it comes from? None of my adults have, yet so far all my hatchlings have it. I was just curious if its used at somesort of lure in the wild (though I can't see these guys being that voracious of hunters), or if its just natural coloration for juvies and then fades out?

Thanks Derek

Derek, the babies all hatch out with it. I think it's some sort lure...either for prey or predators. They'll outgrow it. In fact, it's already faded away on all of my '09 babies.

Edit to add: I don't recall the exact threads, but I do recall prior discussion on this same subject a few years back.

Beautiful!

My females are pretty aggressive too, they are Cameron Highlands.
