Today i put my P. Cepediana pair together for another attempt to get them to get along. It seemed to go well and i think i saw them mate in the sanseveria plant but afterwards the male continued to pester the female. I'll monitor them closely for the next few days to see how it goes. It gave me...

I was giving the day geckos some baby food today as a treat so i thought i'd take some pics. Not sure why, but the bamboo looks pretty dirty in the pics. Its no where near as bad as it looks in real life lol. Hope you like! :) Cepediana: Ornata: Pasteuri: Ed :D

Hi. I put my new pair of cepediana together yesterday but the male hid in the bamboo tube till the lights went off. Today, the male only came out at about 5 pm and he displayed to the female who seemed to reject him and try to run away from him. He caught up and approached her and she bit him on...

Thank you very much to Colin for picking up my gorgeous little pair of phelsuma cepediana from hamm because i was unable to make it! Male: Saying hello to the female P. ornata next door: Female: Hope you like them as i certainly do! :banana:

Heres some pics of my new ornata pair :) Male: Female (she's very friendly :)): Ed :biggrin:

Hiya. I was simply wondering, what small species that people are keeping do they find bold, and do not leg it as soon as they see you? I am going to hopefully get some more phelsuma but my ornata darts away if i poke my head around the door lol. Thanks, Ed ;-)

Heya. I have a quick but slightly strange question. My ornata is extremely shy. I was simply wondering how shy are cepediana or borbonica (obviously it depends on the individuals, but what are they like as species in general)? Cheers, Ed :)

Hiya. As i have said before, my male ornata is VERY shy and i dont see him very often/ for very long. I have never seen him eat, and i have to release crickets into his viv in the hope he finds them. I tried putting crickets in a tub in his viv, but for some reason he didn't show much interest...

Hi guys. You may remember i put my pasteuri pair together (see this thread): http://www.geckosunlimited.com/community/day-geckos-phelsuma/48459-help-pasteuri-pair.html The pair have been doing fine and i have not noticed any violence between them since i saw the male gently nip her tail once...

Hi. I tried to introduce my pasteuri pair today in this viv: I have been watching them for the last 3 hour while revising. The male displays to the female when he sees her, and walks right up to her and shakes his head and hunches up. She just sits there and does not respond. He gets bored...

Heya. A few weeks ago i was advised on here about ridding my orntata of the mites they came with. I tried the olive oil technique, but it caused my female to die of stress, and it did not kill all the mites on the male, so it it was a bit shit really. The male had still got three mites i could...

Heya. You may remember my female pasteuri was quite thin and had stuck shed on her toes where i think she had burnt them on the heat lamp by climbing upside down on the roof. Her weight has been steady for a month or so now, and the burnt areas on her toes are looking a bit better. I decided...

Hi. I just had a quick question about my female pasteuri. Basically, she was housed in a 30x30x45cm viv and was absolutely fine. I tried to introduce the pair in a 45x45x60cm viv, but they didn't seem to get along, so i removed the male and left the female on her own in the big viv. She was...

Hi. When i got my ornata in december from hamm, they had mites. They still have them now as i didn't think much of it, as they dont seem to care about them and the prospect of removing them from such a small, fast species is a bit dawnting. It has come to a time where now i think i better try...

Hey. On Sunday I recieved a pair of Phelsuma ornata which i i paid someone to pick up from Hamm for me. I am over the moon with them! I currently have them in a 45x45x60cm exo terra partitioned down the middle by the background. It's not ideal, but it is only temporary. I am building them a...
