Hi, I wonder does anyone else have a problem with female hemidactylus producing parthenogenically?
I had two female hemidactylus sp (I did ask in an early thread, suggestions were tanganicus, brookii or angulatus.) These two girls, who both escaped into the front room last summer, have produced about 10 off-spring. These just emerged over the winter.. and were found creeping around on the carpet. About 10 have grown up. The big ones, Girlie & Sister, are re-captured and back in their viv now and already laying more eggs this year. There are no males. I've had them since Dec 2009.
They are beautiful little geckos, I don't understand that they seem to be low ranking.

Some more photos here. All the little hatchlings shown here and in previous post survived and have grown to young adulthood. One photo shows one of the adult females, Girlie, carrying two eggs nearly ready to hatch. She already has two more young hatchlings in with her. Beautiful little creatures.
