Yeah because im wondering how people have them set up incase I need to change anything around before taking pics. But ill snap some shots off today.

you can keep them like any other small rupicolous pachy

for more info and some examples: pachydactylus.com

yeah i already been to that site did lots of reading i dont see many pics though on how their kept just pics of them and eggs. speaking of which i found one today now what to do with it lol. I am no to Pachydactylus species in general. Coming into this from leopards, cresties, and dart frogs.

I incubate pachy eggs on dry sand (half burried), in cricket boxes that I put in bain marie type incubator (temps depends on what I want, 25-32°c, 22-28°c....)

keeping is very basic, 1inche of sand, hot spot at 35°c with piles of slates to create crevices, some corks slabs in the fresh corner. Heating pad is cut off during the night and during 2 months in winter.

You need to feed well the female when she is laying, of course crickets need to be dusted with calcium

good luck!

Thank you David I have everything as you said except for the pieces of slate or rock. I need to pick some up. While I was reading up on what to do with the egg the 3 crickets that were left in the tank destroyed it. She should have one more egg to lay so I will be keeping a close eye out for it.

So I never found a 2nd egg for these guys but I was making my rounds and doing some last min feeding before vacation and found 2 eggs in my Weberi tank. I am still new to working with these types of geckos but hoping to be able to get these eggs hatched successfully.

any advice is welcome. anyone else working with these species?
