I have a pair and would like to know if anyone else is out there appreciating these geckos. I have found them to be less flight prone than a sakalava, easy to handle, but if you restrain them, they will promply bite you like only an African velvet can! Hopefully this thread will draw out all...

Hey everyone, This will be quite general, but as some of you know I am working with guentheri. I just wanted to drop in and let you good folks know that my first eggs of the season have hatched, with over 100 days of incubation. I will check my records tonight to let you know exactly how...

Ok, so I have gotten good eggs from my group (2.1) a few years in a row, but never subsequent clutches to hatch. They have been housed together year around for the entire duration. Supposedly they were born in '04, so maybe my female is getting old. They were cooled this winter, with some...

Hey everyone, or in this case, pretty few. I am looking to speak with keepers who have been succesful with pietschmanni, and see how their keeping is comparable to that of guentheri. I have a feeling that the majority of corkbarks in captivity are being kept more like satanics and ( as they...

Hello! This isn't much, as some of the large species of gecko eat mice but this is a little different. I was mincing pinkies to feed to some small snakes, which caught the attention of a medium sized sub-adult Grandis in a nearby cage. Tweezers already in hand, I popped the top of the...

I have had a reverse trio of U. guentheri for a about three years now, they have layed eggs thru this course of time, with only maybe three succesful hatches, only the last of which hatched and survived, as I was not aware of how to care for them then, nor was I providing any Uva or uvb. I...

My meister-line female Uroplatus guntheri is 11.2 g, how does this relate to your experiences. She has layed at least 6 eggs already this year, with one hatchling, which is now some 3 inches long. She is between clutches, layed approx. two week ago. I have heard that people have problems with...

I have an F-1 , from wc parents, ciliatus which I noticed has one eye ( orbit,crest,eyeball) which is much smaller than the normal one. I will get pics up if I get a chance, but dont hold your breath, pics are an issue at the moment. I read a post about a pachydactylus tigrinus which was born...

I just want to know if there is someone out there otherthan myself who is keeping these geckos. I work for a shop and see these animals come in, are inexpensive, survive , and yet I see nothing on them anywhere. anything is appreciated in terms of husbandry advice and or keeping experience...

Hey, This is short, But I just wanted to share my experience. I have several pair of P.Grandis, and inevitibly there are escapes. Last week one female escaped, and I had to catch her with extreme caution, as is required. After she did the initial "spin in the hand, so as not to rip her" she...

Hello, I just thought id give all of you a chance to shower me with your knowledge....all butt-kissing aside, I aquired one male adult with a regen. tail. I was told he may or may not be feeding on crickets. I would like to hear from individuals maintaining this species succesfully over the long...
