Default First Lygodactylus kimhowelli

Now I have about 5 williamsi hatchlings, 2 mourning gecko hatchlings, and...finally...1 L. kimhowelli hatchling!

Believe it or not, I'm rearing them all in a 12 X 12 Exo-Terra that I modified to seal off any potential exit holes. Once they're large enough, they'll be transferred into bigger enclosures (and not mingled). There is some small risk in mixing the species, but at the age they are currently, they don't appear to care who is what, just where the flies are. If I notice any undue competition, I'll sort them out. The mourning gecko babies primarily come out at night, so they aren't even really bothered by the lygos.
All 3 species scarf down Repashy CGD as well as dusted fruit flies, and none appear disturbed by one another at all.

The new kimhowelli baby seems to have decided to stick close to the smallest williamsi hatchling--perhaps they stay near others around their size for protection (in hopes that the other will be eaten instead of them, lol). The little williamsi also appears to be my first male hatchling.

I didn't expect to be able to sex L. williamsi until they were older, but, while my new hatchlings all appear green, most turn brown within a couple of weeks...and this new hatchling has a decidedly bluish caste to his coloration, so I'm thinking that these guys may be sexable even as very young hatchlings. Time will tell if I'm proven right.

Congrats to your first of many kimhowelli babies to follow!! Since owning a only a trio since October I have 13 babies (had 14, but the little guy that came out earlier today was far too weak ). I currently await 7 more clutches and my two females are due to add two more clutches to the others any day.

I have also found my geckos to not care who is who either.
