Hello, I recently acquired 1.2 Phelsuma nigristriata as part of an order from Julie Bergman (Gecko Ranch - Supplies, Breeds, Herpetology). Julie actually included a surprise additional female. I am thankful for her great service and the quality of the animals. This is my first time working...

I received this male today from Jason (thanks!). He is approximately 5 years old. I should have a female shortly as part of the Phelsuma breviceps co-op, which Leann organized and operates. Those of us working with these rare species and even other Phelsuma owe her a big thank you for her...

I was following up on the recent introduction of a female to a male and the pair bolted out of the top of the enclosure (despite my efforts to minimally disturb them). I only scrutinize the enclosure and look for eggs in an enclosed room that is free of any barriers. Male (stressed and in poor...

I walked downstairs this morning and saw a Phelsuma hatchling on the tile floor. I thought it was a cepediana at first, but it did not immediately flee :) and I realized it was too large. It was a laticauda that had hatched from an undocumented clutch. I checked all my laticauda enclosures and...

Hello, I recently acquired three more young Phelsuma guimbeuaui from an individual on another forum (Another big thank you, Mark). I began working with this species last year when I obtained some geckos from Jpmarcel and acquired some more from him this year (Thank you!). I have found some...

Hello, I just discovered my first cepediana hatchling in the incubator today. It emerged from a single-egg clutch that was laid in a bamboo cleft in April, I believe. I think it was April, but really have no idea as I was not looking for it and didn't know the female was gravid at the time...

Hello, I received this fantastic pair this morning from Leann and Greg Christenson (Leaping Lizards Home Page). I am incredibly excited to be working with this species and with the co-op. A big thanks to Leann, Russ, and others who have kept this species going in captivity in the US. These...

I discovered this little nice hatchling in the incubator tonight. As both parents are quite blue, I'm excited to see how the hatchlings turn out. They are really spectacular little hatchling, but aren't all Phelsuma? I especially like the red tail tip. I purchased these in January from Kurt...

Hello, I have been closely monitoring my female madagascariensis lately as she was quite gravid. When I came home this evening, I did not see her, but decided to look in a bamboo hollow that appeared (to me, so take that for what it is worth because I am not a female Phelsuma) to be a...

I just introduced a female cepediana to my male. I am presently working with 1.2. I had 1.3 until a made a foolish mistake last year. I had surgery and when I get home I checked on all my Phelsuma. I had not seen one of my female P. cepediana for a few days, which is common unless you sit still...

I acquired 1.2 wild caught P. laticauda laticauda from a local pet store today to add some new lines. They are now housed individually (you'll see why). Male (undoubtedly stressed-regenerated tail): Female: Female:

Hello, I acquired a trio of Phelsuma borbonica (agalegae) mater last year. I had been looking for borbonica for quite some time and was very pleased that Kurt Lantz (The Rep Room... your source for fine reptiles.) made a male and some females available. I also acquired Phelsuma cepediana...

I obtained this pair last month and am finally posting some pictures. They are presently housed individually. Male: Female (eating banana puree):

Hello, I was introducing a male klemmeri to a new female and heard scuffling/ chattering in the borbonica enclosure. They are really quite vocal. I was startled to see the male aggressively biting the female and thrashing her around. I have seen him display at and chase females, but never...

Hello, I just acquired these from Kurt Lantz (The Rep Room... your source for fine reptiles.). The following pictures give you an idea of how much blue they have. They are really nice. Male Female

Hello, This P. robertmertensi just hatched last Friday. Curiously, I am still waiting for the other one to hatch. This species is incredibly rewarding as it is very striking, very active, and quite bold. I really enjoy working with them. These pictures were taken with the camera on my...

This hatchling came from a single egg clutch that was glued to a leaf. It hatched at the end of July. I'm finally posting some pictures that were taken quite some time ago. Upon first hatching...(poor quality pictures taken with the camera on my cell phone) One afternoon I noticed...

I recently acquired these from JPMARCEL. I am very pleased with these geckos. The male cepediana is quite striking, but it is hard, either because of my ability or my camera, to take a decent picture of his coloration. He is rather bold, in comparison to the females I have. I am looking forward...

I just discovered another one egg clutch laid by one of my females. The egg was glued to a Sansevieria leaf. The previous single egg clutch was glued to the enclosure glass and is still "going strong" incubating in situ. I did cut the leaf from the plant and trimmed around the egg. I plan on...

I gave some of the Phelsuma fruit puree tonight and took some pictures. I found some duds in this cepediana's enclosure this evening.
