Mother's Day Present !!
Well .... it looks like I'm a MOM again!! ( It would be nice if one would hatch on FATHER'S DAY!! ) LOL
Look what I found today !! 
And I tried to get a nice MACRO shot but it's not quite as clear as I initially thought.
That makes 6 baby White Lines so far this year!! Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be much demand for these cute little buggers. 
Dyesub Dave.

Congratulations Dave! I've seen those geckos also referred to as Skunk Geckos in books. Do you know if that is another common name for them or is that another type of gecko because they look exactly the same. Congrats again!

Thanks guys!! Yup ... they're also referred to as Skunk Geckos!! They usually lay eggs in pairs. So the second one of this pair will likely hatch within the next couple of days!

White Lined geckos are another great under rated pet. It is too bad really, I like them.

Absolutely!! The parents are a little freaky and skittish but the babies aren't too bad at all. They seem to get used to being handled occasionally which only increases their value as a pet reptile IMO.

Another thing, I've read they only live like 2-3 years and another book said 1-2. Is that true??????? That's a pretty short life for a gecko

Thanks everybody.  They take anywhere from 2 or 3 months to hatch from my experience. I'm sure that temps and humidity are factors.
The female has eaten a couple of the eggs which I've heard is a sign that they're no good. However I have one egg that's been in there for quite some time and she hasn't touched it. There's also another egg that candles yellow and I'm fairly certain that it's not fertile but she hasn't touched that one either.
To my knowledge I have at least 2 ... perhaps 3 eggs left that are still good.
Dyesub Dave.
