I just put on hold a 1.1.1 group of viper geckos! I'm very excited, as I have been wanting to get into this species for a long time.

congrats! did you get the husbandry info you needed?

ReptileChick · #3 03-19-2007, 03:01 PM

Yup, sure did. And I'm ready for them once they get here. I recently bred some crickets successfully and have some tiny babies that are a good size for them. Also will be getting those mini-mealworms. How many have you hatched out?

They are such fun geckos! Here are two pics I took of a 5month old a few weeks ago..

Ive actually never worked with them. Im sure youll do great though, you definitely prepared yourself which is highly commendable. Im glad you didnt rush out and just get them without knowing what you were getting into! Keep it up!

By the way, investing in some fruitflies or lateralis roaches (if your situation provides for it) would be another great way to keep a stock of small feeders on hand.

Gorgeous geckos, Select!

Oh, I thought you bred them, Starry. Sorry, lol! I'd get flightless fruit flies but I heard if one fruit fly gets in that CAN fly, it can breed with the flightless and then you get flying ones. That would suck. We have lots of the flying kind here. And I would DEFINITELY have roaches if my parents didn't cringe at the thought of them in the house. I'll be out next year, and will be getting roaches. Thanks!!

I never even noticed those photos when I posted before, those are really nice, kudos.

Be sure to post some pics when yours come RC!

Yay! I just paid the rest off for them and they will be here either Thursday or Friday. I'm so excited! I need some good names for them.

Ok, I'm getting the geckos tomorrow. I'm just wondering, as there is a pair, where should I place the nest box in the tank? On the cool end is what I expected, but not sure. And they incubate at room temp? If not, then I'll have to keep them separate until I can afford an incubator. Thanks!
