I got a pair of cave geckos today at a reptile show. They are a little rough looking but it shouldnt take to long to get them nice and healthy.

Nice looking hainanensis!

honestly i don't think they look too good. Many pieces of old skin, especially on the toes. Tese geckos are quite shy, so handling (to remove the old skin) might cause lots of stress. C.b.'s would be a much better choice. Anyway, good luck!

They wont take that long to get back to health. They just need a little TLC and they will be looking better.

Here is some updated pics. Amazing what a couple of weeks of a little TLC can do for them.Both of them have gained 3grams since I have had them.

Keep up with the feeding because they may start breeding for you. I never had to do any cycleing with some wc the first year.

I dont have them together right now. I was going to give them a while to put on some weight before I put them together. I hope they do breed for me this year that would be pretty sweet.
