so i tend to leave my felinus alone and don't need to really clean the cage much because of the horde of isopods i keep in my tanks. any way found this little guy in there and figure i really should check the tank more often.

i'm just amazed it hatched in there really and has been alright still it's tiny. it's moved into a shoe box right now with paper towels but i'm wondering what you guys use as a substrate for baby felinus?

Congrats! What a great surprise to find.

I've actually had some success in the past simply leaving eggs in the enclosure and letting them hatch out on their own. But, in the end, you get a lot more control over incubation conditions by taking them out. In any case, I keep my hatchlings on a peat/sand mix just like the adults. But I keep them in much smaller enclosures.

alright thank i was thinking of using something like that i just wanted to know i was doing the right thing.

You always know you're doing something right when the animals procreate successfully on their own in the enclosure! Great find!

Would the parents not eat the young if they found them? Ive always wondered about that?

It depends on the species. Tokay geckos actually protect their young. I've heard of people having issues with felinus eating their young, but have not experienced it personally.
