Thank you! I have a waterfall on the backwall to help keep humidity up. Hmm, baby geckos could be fun! Hopefully I'll get more feedback. Maybe I'll make a new thread asking people to help identify?

You've all been so great, I can't thank you enough!

They can't be from the same clutch, at least. He said the "big one" was about 2 years and the "little one" was about a year and a half. "Big one" was the one with the prolapse. Maybe this was just the first time they've mated due to being too young before? He had them together for as long as he had them. I'm attaching a vent pic of "little one", a pic of my habitat, and a face pic of little one. As soon as he cooperates I'll post vent pics of big one.
That is definitely a female in that pic.. The males have the pores literally sticking out.. it's sort of like a waxy secretion they use it to mark their territory. If you don't know what I'm talking about, I'm reffering to the dots that are in the shape of an upside down "V" Nice tank, it will do but they like to climb and be as hign up as possible. The reason I was asking if you bought the cage from him as well is because they can be very very good at hiding the eggs out of sight. Also sometimes the dad or mom will try and eat the eggs or even the babies when they hatch... Another possibility is they probably didn't mate because you said the previous owner never really cleaned the cage.. So he probably never really tended to them as in correct humidity, heat, well gut loaded insects... Who really knows you know? anyways we still need to see the other pic just to confirm you have a male and female.

Yup looks like you've got a nice pair to me. I'd love to see full pictures of them.

I'd pay close attention for kinked tails and make sure that you're dusting bugs for them- I'm a little concerned for the female as she'll be producing eggs now even though she didn't have a proper diet growing up, so this may seriously drain her resources. What are you using to dust? I'm glad you're getting them on the Repashy DGD, that should seriously help.
