I grabbed a pair or wc quad quads at a show this past weekend. I'm very familiar with general care requirements and I'm looking for breeding information. I'm guessing the female is still too young for that so I'm planning an 18x18x24 planted viv for when she is breeding size. She's maybe 3-3.5"...

Ordered these from Hamm over a month ago and after all the bad weather finally cleared they are here at last! Had my eye on this species for close to 5 years now. They were well worth the wait and I can't wait to breed them next year. Male Female

My camera crapped out on me about a month ago and I picked up a new one on Saturday. Just in time for the first eggs of the season to hatch some crazy neon grandis. Baby 1 Baby 2 Mako, the sire, right after he finished shedding:

I have a 6 month old juvenile grandis that a friend is interested in buying if it is male. Louping it through the glass, I can see some distinct, albeit immature pores (not producing secretions yet). I'd label it a probable male, but the yellow/orange color near the vent isn't really there yet...

I recently acquired a pair of standingi (thanks Matt) who were previously unpaired. I've since paired them and I'm not sure if they've produced any eggs yet. There is a pot with very densely planted sansevieria so while I haven't seen eggs in there, they could have been missed. I read that...

FINALLY got my new klemmeri today! Unfortunately, the best pictures I could get were while they were still in the cup. I'll work on the photo skills. The female actually comes out of hiding and walks right up to the camera to pose. Female: Male: Female again: Tank: Next door...

I have a mysterious blue spot that appeared on my male standingi recently and I have no clue what it is. The only thing I can think of is a possible burn from basking under a halogen puck light. He only has this spot in one area and the female has no signs of this. It shows no sign of puss or...

I just grabbed a gorgeous, FAT pair of standingi from Matt Schaefer. They're still a little skittish from the trip, but are slowly becoming more bold. They hadn't previously been paired so this was their first introduction as mates. So far so good, everyone is playing nice so hopefully it...

Caught my male and one of the babies shedding so it was a clear invitation for photos. Admittedly, some of them are out of focus, but the post-shed colors were striking enough that I still had to post them any way. I caught my pair breeding again so it looks like I'll have my first eggs of...

I recently housed my breeding pair of grandis in a 18x18x24 screen tank. The screen did not hold heat and humidty as much as I had hoped so I moved them back into an exo 18" cube. Is this adequate space or is that a detriment to their care? <disclaimer: This is an active discussion with my wife.>

I just started breeding giant day geckos this August and managed to get 5 good eggs before mom and dad cooled off. I've posted a few pictures already, but the final clutch just hatched and everyone was looking great. If not for the unique head markings, I'm not sure I'd be able to tell all of...

I've been waiting for these guys to hatch for what feels like an eternity! One hatched on Friday and the second yesterday. Baby #2 escaped when I tried to get him out of the deli cup so he is currently MIA in my basement. Here is the other baby though: The next one should hatch in 2...

I have a clutch of grandis eggs incubating for 72 days now. I originally had them in a delicup inside the parents' tank which fluctuated between mid 80's and the 70's. When temps started to drop I moved them into an incubator set at around 85. Obviously, the lower temps have led to some...

I picked up a screen exo terra 18x18x24 on a whim for $20 and just moved my grandis pair in. I still have to get some horizontal bamboo. I'm looking into magnets before I drill holes in the metal screen. It's going to be IMPOSSIBLE to find eggs now... Mako, my male The pair

I recently started breeding my grandis in the past month and already have a few eggs incubating. I only have one hovabator full of rhacodactylus eggs so rather than disturb those and change methods when they're all doing well, I decided to incubate my grandis eggs in a delicup inside the adult...

I received an adult male grandis about 2 weeks ago and introduced him to my female, both are about 2 years old. They haven't seemed to fight at all and I've already seen them mating so things seem to be going well. Just 2 days ago I noticed that the male was hiding in the bamboo, dark, and not...

I just got my dream gecko in the male yesterday! I've had a female grandis (Kona) for about 2 years and she began laying slugs this Spring. I convinced my wife to let me get her a boyfriend and a friend of mine helped track down someone who needed cash and was practically giving this boy away...

I picked up my female grandis about 2 years ago with no intention of breeding her. Fast forward 2 years and she's fat, healthy and giving me not so subtle hints in the form of infertile eggs. I considered a breeding loan, but the wife said why do that when you can just buy your own. I wish...

I'm not sure how many of you are going to (or aware of, for that matter) the herp show in Buffalo, NY on May 22. I figured this would be a good way to spread the word and show off a few of my guys in the process. It's a smaller show, but I've been there the past 4 years now and we have a very...

I just picked up a bag from Julie at Gecko Ranch. It's still a little cold in NY so I'm not getting a good indication of whether or not my grandis likes it. She's been on CGD for a while and I expected more of an immediate response.
