Just like in Part1, please post your opinions on what species/subspecies you believe these geckos to be. PB3 - She was a little upset when I took these earlier tonight. She just laid a clutch pasted to the glass pane of her enclosure this morning. She has a very distinct marking around the...

I have had the good fortune of finding some of the phelsumas that I have most desired to keep/breed since I started gecko husbandry. The search does continue though, lol. What I am finding out to be a little unclear is the 100% confirmation of the species/subspecies ID of the Borbonica I am...

Nevermind...

I placed a request from a local organic style vitamin shoppe for some natural bee pollen because I have read that some Phelsuma keepers feed this to their animals. This bee pollen is in the raw form and I wanted to know how those that do use this are mixing it to be fed to their animals. Since...

I just acquired a gravid female Phelsuma klemmeri about 1 1/2 weeks ago and have been anxiously anticipating her to lay her first clutch. She has been kind of elusive the first 7-10 days and I finally was able to see her out and about today. To top it off I was able to get some pretty good shots...

TSD - Temperature-induced Sex Determination... I am attempting to see if I can produce some males from a laticauda laticauda clutch that my female just laid yesterday. They were laid into oviposition on a split piece of bamboo directly under the halogen puck light. From some breeders I have...

I was misting my tanks this morning and I went to check on the clutches that I have cooking. My first laticauda laticauda clutch of 2009 has hatched! One was already out perusing the inside of the container and the other was still working its way out of the shell, tail first. I just called home...

...are considered or known to be toxic to phelsuma? I have read somewhere, but can't remember exactly where, that Christmas Cactus - botanically known as Schlumbergera or Zygocactus is considered lethal to day geckos. Not sure if this has been proven through trial and error, but wanted to see if...

Both my laticauda and quadriocellata females have just recently laid single egg clutches. The lat lat on 5/14, just 18 days after the last OP. The quad quad this morning 05/18, just 14 days after the last OP. This seems to be extremely close to the last OP in both cases. I would assume that it...

I am posting this to inform those breeding in the hopes to maybe prevent this from happening to others. I am a little bummed right now :-x . My laticauda female laid her third clutch of the season into oviposition on Saturday, April 26th. She laid the double egg clutch vertically, tucked nicely...

My first laticauda clucth has hatched. Oviposition was 02/24/08. This is the first time I have used the incubator as opposed to letting them hatch insitu. 78F - 88F for 38 days and 39 days. I have since lowered the top end to 86F. The first one hatched yesterday 4/2 and the second this morning...

My first post.
