viper gecko eggs

hey guys and gals, just got my first pair of viper gecko eggs. For the lack of not having any dry sand around, i had to use perlite, but will change it asap. I have them cooking at 83F. They are so small, i tried to take a pic, but they just blended in with the perlite granules.

its been a year and a bit since I've been in those as well. I sold my ackies, they are getting shipped tomorrow. Sad, I loved those little guys. I am moving next tuesday, so I needed to sell some herps, even though its only four houses down! I've gotten a few more herps.

are you looking into any other gecko species?

yeah, im trying to work out a deal on some U.milli and just ordered some Homopholis fasciata. After that i'll just play with them for awhile, but i would like to get some T. keyserlingi and spider gecko in the near future as well. Nephurus would be nice, but i'll have to save up for nephurus, start hatching red ackies and gouldi again i'll get some higher end stuff, but for the time being, just the cheap stuff i can afford straight out of my pocket.

heres a tip, IMO, some of the cheapest geckos are the most fun. I used to only buy expensive herps, but now I realized some of the cheaper, 50 dollar geckos are fun to keep also. Just buy what you think is cool.

yeah, tell me about it, my viper geckos are as cool as they get, i cant wait to hatch them out, id like to get one more clutch then start cooling them and seperate the male for the winter.

no arboreal species!? I find them the best! Although, I do keep a pair of stenos, which I absolutely love!

nah, im not big on arboreals, monitors, snakes or geckos. Never really cared for them, but i wont shut them out, i'll try anything once, especially if they are cool looking. I dont care for animals that are weak or spindly looking, i like the bull dog or tank look.
