Male
Default Tropiocolotes steudneri hatchlings!
I've had a two of these geckos for about 2 or 3 years now. I had never found any babies or eggs but could hear the occasional 'CHIRPING' sound coming from their enclosure so figured that I had at least one male.

About 6 months or so ago I found a baby in the enclosure with the adults along with a broken egg. I moved the baby to a small deli cup and recently put it back in with the parents. I hadn't seen the juvie for a few days so while looking through the enclosure I found a small gecko ... but too small compared to the one I put back in. After looking around a bit more I found the slightly older one and realized there was another baby. I also found a complete infertile egg ... which I've left in the enclosure just in case!

Anyways .... here are a few pics. The pics of the adults are older and lower quality but you get the idea of size anyways.


MALE




FEMALE




JUVIE - Approx. 6 months.







BABY








EGG

Nice, I've noticed that Tropiocolotes like mind-bogglingly hot temperatures. It seems like as soon as I crank the hotspot to 115-120F, they starting laying eggs instantly!

Mine only have room temps with an UTH under one side. Perhaps if I got the small heat lamp fixed I'd get more eggs?

Oh my, that is a super itsy bitsy little baby. I can see how you wouldn't find the egg being so small. Just amazing, they are a very cute species.
