I thought I would share a few pictures of the Gekko petricolus pair I have, enjoy!

Male. His colors are not as nice as they usually are. He is a little stressed from being taken out of the cage and chased around the reptile room a few times.

Female

While I don't know much about these guys, they are gorgeous!

I was pretty lucky to get this pair. I have been wanting a pair of these for quite a while now. I have got one egg from them so far, not sure if it is fertile I really have not looked at it to check. Hopefully I get lots of breeding this year from the pair.

I`m breeding this Species since more than 15 years.
You can get between 12 and 20 eggs from one female the year.
The Problem is i breed much!!! more females than males.
Sometimes i had 10 young females and no male
I checked the Temperatures in nature but have no idear whats wrong.
If i get some males then mostly true the winter season (little colder)

sorry for my bad english

I can make out what you are saying, your English is not to bad. So you think if they incubate a little cooler there will be more males? What is the normal incubation time for these eggs?

[Gongylus]

Normaly they need from 70 to 80 days.
In nature they stop laying eggs in beginnig of oktober (its the beginnig of dry and colder season)
I dont know exactly when they start again, cause i ve been there 4 times only inbetween the month from Oktober( little last rain ) until early Januar(very,very dry!!!)
But this southern part of Isan is not (!) so cold like 200 or 300 Km northwards where you have often 8 or 12° C at Nighttime in that season.

Here in Germany they stop breeding only for 2 - 3 Month (depends on how hard the winter is) Normaly around Dez. / Jan.

I measured temperature day maximum of 31,2° C and minimum 20,7° C at nighttime in November (at Kaeng Thana NP /Ubon Province NE Thailand)
Humidity 58 % (day ) to 90% at night.
That is close to what they get in my Home in wintertime.
