It's too cold here for me to go room temp right now and I had all females hatch out at room temp last year (74-78 avg), but if everyones having more success with girls at higher temps I'd prefer to go that route and shorten the incubation time. Jimmynightlizard you have some great pics and I wish you a great season (talk to me late summer about possible trades if interested since we're both in Chicago) as well as everybody else let's start pumping out some gonis
This is very interesting to hear! Sounds like there is more than one way to get more females. I'm just experimenting with a temp increase this time to see what happens? I'm keeping the 4 goni eggs I currently have between 78-82. As far as a possible bl trade goes, I will keep that in mind. Right now I have 6 Cyrtodactylus pulchellus eggs, 4 Goniurosaurus hainanensis eggs, and 3 Pachydactylus facsiata eggs incubating. And more to come from all the above I'm sure! This should be a very productive summer

Got a pair of Hainanensis eggs incubating at 80 degrees. I think my female is done laying...how long does their breeding season last? I put her with my male about 2 weeks ago...and no visible eggs showing. Still looking for a female luii for either of my two males.

Female cave geckos can lay 3 clutches of 2 eggs per season. It takes about two months after mating for females to lay eggs. I witnessed both of my pairs mating. This is easiest to do in the month of march after a 2-4 week cooling period. This way the females are much more receptive to the males. As soon as I introduced them they went right at it! And yes I have pictures of the goni porn! As soon as I find my adaptor for my camera I will load them up and post them on here. Good luck finding your luii, I am having similar problems finding female pegu zebra stripe gecko's cyrtodactylus peguensis zebraicus. These are the ones that chirp like a bird. The male pegu wakes me up almost every day
