Tis the season--First L. williamsi hatchling!
Perfect pair of baby williamsi, the first ones I've hatched. I'm setting them up in mason jars with Pothos, and a little soil in the bottom with springtails. I'll be putting a UVB light overtop of the mason jars, and replacing the metal top with fiberglass screen.

Superb. Big congratulations.
I still haven't noticed any eggs layed yet and they are not touching the Repashy diet. I watched my male scoff a cricket today. First time I have noticed either of them eat for ages.
Are you aware of how often these little guys should shed their skin?

I'm not--they shed their skin very rapidly when they do it, and they eat all of the shed.

It is in my experience that day geckos usually shed every 3 weeks. Which has been quite accurate with what I read in a book.
Sometimes even the very same day you bring them home they will shed.

Do Phelsuma and Lygodactylus have the same shedding cycles?

Congrats on the two little ones. Be aware that some have problems with rearing theese geckos in small container - I don't know the size of the jars you refer to though 
Every three weeks seems to fit my Lygo's quite well, ofcause I don't see it everytime, but I have seen it with roughly 3 weeks intervals a few times. So 3 weeks seems about right to me.

It seems to be the case. From what I have seen in mine the majority shed the same day if not a day or two apart.
