Male
Default Some pics of my Hainan Cave Geckos.

These are of the highland form. The two adults are the parents of the two juvi's pictured. The adult with its original tail is the father, and the one with the regenerated tail is the mother. I hatched out several babies this fall. I was lucky enough to photograph acouple of the babies as they were hatching out of their eggs, once in september and again november. Today I took a few good solo pics of the 3 month old male. He is also pictured with his mother, and then again with his father. The three month old is not very camera shy. Some of the other juvi's are very skiddish, and difficult to photograph. The one on my hand is 6 weeks old, also did not seem too shy today. Enjoy

I kind of played it safe the first time by keeping them around 80 during the day, then lowered it to 78-75 at night. I ended up with 4 males and two females. You can keep them alittle warmer if you want more females than males. Just don't go past 84 degrees.

I'm curious about the temp sex detemination in goni question. What's everybody's experience on this. I got a bunch of girls about to start dropping (one probably tonight). I got the incubator fired up, but would prefer more females than males. 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

Need to get more cave geckos out there. I'm keeping my eggs somewhat warmer due to temps in different rooms...will see how eggs do if fertile. I wonder if warmer temps creates males and lower temps for females...but also wonder about "hot females" as seen with Leopards. I have a few hot females and they have never bred/have been very aggressive.
