Frog Eyed Gecko

grandmastergecko · #1 10-10-2010, 10:30 AM

Hi,

We bought these 2 geckos in a pet shop and the guy told us they were 2 females. Are they Tibetan frog eyed or Teratoscincus Roborowski and can someone please tell us what sex is on both? We think they are a pair.

Thank you,

They look great!
The first one seems to be male and the other is a female to me.
The common name of Teratoscincus Roborowskii is Tibetan Frog-eyes geckos, rite?

yea most of the time they are often mistaken for other frog eyes so try to use thier latin nams it makes it much easyier to identify them

Can I say Roborowskii's Frog-eyed geckos cos I found the common name of Teratoscincus przewalskii is Przewalskii's Frog-eyed geckos sometimes but actually they called Mongolian Frog-Eyed Gecko.

Thank you guys! We have them in a long 20 Gal fish tank w/ calcium sand and 4 hides.
Do we have to seperate them when the breeding season stops or can we keep them together all the time. What ever info is much appreciated.

Thanks again,

i agree they look like a pair, very healthy looking too! I have prezwalskii and am hoping to breed them next year.

I am looking for T. prezwalskii actually but I am not in a rush, so, keep searching and waiting.
You can keep them together anyway, cos they need a cool period before their breeding process and this might not happen if you keep them warm the whole year round. And I guess your pair are still young for breeding too.

I am not quite soon cos I don't think I will breed them within 2011 cos they are still very young for that.
But I'd read serveral caresheet that mentioned"In winter a decrease of 10 degrees Celsius can be initiated. Changes of season are important for breeding. ", "Breeding is not easy. Mating takes place at the beginning of the year, when ambient temperatures are rising. "
