Phelsuma borbonica (agalegae) mater hatchling and missed clutch
This hatchling came from a single egg clutch that was glued to a leaf. It hatched at the end of July. I'm finally posting some pictures that were taken quite some time ago.
Upon first hatching...(poor quality pictures taken with the camera on my cell phone)
One afternoon I noticed this...
Somehow between feeding, misting, and viewing my geckos (near daily), I missed this clutch tucked away in the Sansevieria. It was there for 45-60 days and I had no idea! That was not the first time (as I have done that with other species), but why did it have to be with this species? Haha. I'm trying to laugh it off.
I can only speculate that the hatchlings escaped from the enclosure or were consumed by one of three adults.
