My babies finally hatched, with two more in eggs on the way. They are so cute and feeding great on fruit flies. They will be on the site very soon!




Thanks for looking

[renster]

Wow looks amazing :P Congratz

I Was thinking of getting one or two a while back, this has set me off tho defo gettin some shortly

Read somewhere that they independently reproduce, neither gecko is male or female, That true?

[ento890]

lol thank you

Yes, they are patheogenic, meaning they reproduce by themselves. I keep them the same way you would keep a house gecko. I'm not sure if i am ging to keep the first batch or sell them. Im torn!

[renster]

Just wondering but how big do they get and how many is suited in a 16 x 15 x 32 viv?

[ento890]

They get about the size of a house gecko and I believe you can put quite a few in that size terrarium.

Here is a picture of the mother, full grown.

Ok thanks, think ill get 2 anyway just to be on safe side any more than that and id be over run in a year lol

Having more than one gecko in a tank is interesting because they will chirp to eachother. And hungry mama's will eat their babies, so I always separate mine!

Yeah im used to chirping have 2 breeding pairs of S. Sthenodactylus lol, Already have most of the the materials to make my viv for some Mournings just need perspex/acrylic and 2 runners

I wouldnt take the chance of a hatchling in a tank with its parents or any other gecko(Cept clutch mates) until 4 - 5 months old.

Never actually bred any gecko, S. Stheno's are my first breeders and it seems to be going well, I Hope :S

After I get my American Tree frog next week hopefully, Ill Take 2 -3 weeks reading on Mourning geckos, then hunt a pair down.

Like to stick with the smaller geckos for some reason, dunno why just they all seem to be little characters lol Sthenos are great, the Tail wagging is epic.

[ento890]

Sounds good. Good luck to you.

I think im gonna keep this first pair and then sell the next two that are due to hatch in about a month and a 1/2.

I sold my pair of steno. petrii's about 2 months ago, but they were entertaining little guys.

[renster]

Yeah they are amazing little things lol, Best of luck to ya aswell.
