    Assembling a young P. kochi pair-second opinion on sexes

    I'm attempting to assemble a pair(though they won't be housed together until old enough) of juvenile P. kochi for a friend of mine and would like other opinions on the sexes of these animals I have other individuals, but I believe these will be a pair. What do you think? I'm sorry for the poor...

    Another Phelsuma kochi hatchling

    Hello, I discovered another Phelsuma kochi hatchling in my incubator yesterday morning, 6/2/09. I have no idea how old the clutch is as I stumbled across the clutch last week before moving it to my incubator. As I was poking around the my adults' enclosure last week, I discovered the "new...

    More Phelsuma kochi hatchlings!

    I discovered these two hatchlings this morning. The eggs were laid on 3/22/09, forty-four days ago, and were incubated at 29 °C. I will probably lower the temperature a few degrees during the incubation of the next clutch, which I am excitedly awaiting. These are the female's first two clutches...

After I found them, I gently removed them from the enclosure and placed them on a bed of dry Perlite in a plastic bottle cap so they would not be disturbed. I...

    Phelsuma madasgariensis kochi eggs!

    I just found these eggs this morning. Although this is the first clutch (that I have found), I believe the eggs are viable. What do you think? Although I am of German-Presbyterian descent, I had to delight that they were laid on St. Patrick's Day. Hopefully I'll hatch some green babies soon...

    Phelsuma madagascariensis kochi pair and naturalistic setup

    I obtained this young pair at the end of last year. The male was born on 5/11/2007 and the female was born on 6/4/2007. I created my own enclosure for them and am fairly pleased with the result. I hope to make another one shortly for my Phelsuma standingi. Taping it all together...

    Phorid flies

    Good evening, Does anyone else struggle with fending off phorid flies? I go through four thousand crickets every month, feeding my Ackies, Phelsuma, and Strophurus. Despite my best efforts, I have these flies lurking in the house. When I receive the crickets, I dump them into my clean...

    New Phelsuma standingi and husbandry questions

    Hello, I just purchased a trio of young Phelsuma standingi. They hatched in March. These are my first Phelsuma , but I have kept varanids for many years. I presently have them set up in Critter Keepers, but will be ditching these as the plastic tops and the plastic access doors are not...
