Nice surprise. I am now incubating 4 eggs of this species. I had read they needed brumation with very low temps in winter (45-55°F) but I simply changed the lightbulb I use as a basking spot from 60W to 40W for 2 weeks and then to 25 W for a month, and then did exactly the opposite. As you can see, they glue their eggs on rocks inside the enclosure. I incubate the eggs in a professional incubator, leaving them on the stones they were glued on and in the same position...can't wait to see the babies :D

I set there cage up by placing PVC tunnels under the sand on the cooler side as well as the hotter side. They seem to enjoy the tunnels, but maybe a little too much. I never get to see them at all. Whenever the lights go out it seems like they might come out of the tunnels but shoot back in as soon as I enter the room. I know they are probably acclimating, but I was wondering if they are usually this skittish? I heard they were pretty bold geckos. Should I try to simplify there cage? I've also read that using a infrared bulb or night viewing bulb is a no-no because it will mess with the geckos, what is your opinion?
