Hi everybody

I'd like to share with you a photo of my Homopholis fasciata female, I left her with the male (after increasing temperature) for 5 days and now after some days from the union I see her like that



She seems larger, could she be gravid?

I'm not sure but I hope she is gravid. I've had a 2.2 group for about a year and haven't found any eggs or babies yet.

Could you tell me how you keep yours and what temps you raised them to?

Thanks ... Dyesub Dave.

I have a trio 1.2 of these fantastic tanzanian geckos, I keep them in two vivs 30x30x40(h) one with only the male and one with two females. I keep them with 32-35° C under the hot spot and I turn off the spot at night.. I follow the tanzanian rain season to try to breed them (never bred yet) little rain season from november to december when I spray in the terrrarium once a day and great rain season from february to april when I spray twice a day.. I hope that season simulation will help to breed these geckos
sorry if my english isn't very good

Hey Giorgio ... no worries ... your English is fine.

Thanks for the info. What do you use for substrate in your enclosures?

I use cocobark

OK ... Thanks. I've heard of some breeders either using sand or mixing their substrate with sand. I'm just wondering if this would help initiate them to breed?

Apparently high pressure systems associated with storms also trigger breeding. Although there have been several good storms here over the last year and no breeding yet that I know of.

I don't think that sand will help breeding of this gecko (but maybe I'm wrong), I think that the important thing is to simulate seasonal climatic changings.. I hope they mate, even because my male is screaming since rain season started and he's very very loud

That's interesting...I found 3 fertile eggs in the last few weeks. My fasciata-female never laid eggs before. Obviously some mating must have taken place before, but I never heard one single call from the male.

I think the male call when temperature increase and rain season start.. but I've no so much experiece with that gecko to confirm it.. has someone heard scream by his H. fasciata male?
