A strange thing just happened. My 6.5 months old p.grandis just laid two soft "eggs". But she didn't even try to hide them, she just let them stick to the outside of a bamboo stick and a few minutes later she got back and ate them. The thing is that I have another, older female in the same...

I noticed this morning that the tip of the tail of my 2.5 months old grandis had turned grey.. I guess that it's caused by a bad shedding, but I can't see any remaining piece around the tip. Hopefully he will sort it out himself today, but I'm worried that the tip has been damaged permanently...

I wanted to share some pictures of my first ever baby gecko Ozzie! On the pics he is 3 weeks old and enjoying some mashed persimon. He doesn't have a problem with me hand feeding him or touching his back, which is nice :) It's just the baby crickets I don't know if he's eating or not. When I...

I will be gone from home for the next three weeks, and I'm a bit concerned about the timing.. I have my first ever grandis egg incubating, and by the look of it when I candle it, the little fellow will want come out soon! I have no experience of hatchlings, and if it happens when I'm not there...

My female grandis has her favorite spot at the UV lamp. She sleeps there at night and moves there as soon as the light goes off. In the morning when the light goes on she stays there until it gets uncomfortable for her, but the accumulated UV exposure has given her burns on the tail..! I put a...

I have been waiting for eggs for a long time now, and was really beginning to wonder why the female never seemed to get any.. Also it made me confused that one day she would look very big and I was sure she was pregnant, and another day I couldn't see anything special on her. I thought I had...

Hi, I have been thinking about the UV light in my enclosure and I'm wondering if maybe it is too bright for the geckos eyes? I have one linear bulb (5% UVB) which doesn't bother me, but then I got an extra UV lamp, a compact bulb (also 5%) since I thought one lamp was too little for the big...

Hi, I am just curious about what my grandis geckos are doing these days.. I think it is some kind of mating behavior, but why do they do it? My male is walking with very stiff steps and jerking his head from side to side, and the female is doing something similar with her head plus making a...

Hi all, I wonder how often day geckos shed their skin normally? My grandis has shed two times in about a month now.. The shedding goes quite smooth I think, last time a was able to see it from the start and the whole thing took around 3 h. It seems often to me, but maybe it is normal? /annika

Hi, I hope someone has tips to share about how to move your gecko! On friday a nice grandis lady is arriving:biggrin: and I would like to take the advice I got here previously and move my male to another terrarium while the female is getting comfortable in the big one. Then I want to put him...

Hi, is there someone on the forum that could explain to me how the numbering system work that you use to indicate sex etc. of your gecko? Is it right that there is always three digits? Thanks! /annika

Hi, now the warm weather is coming to Sweden and everyone is out basking in the sun! :) I would like to take my grandis out for a few hours too, because I've heard the sun makes their colors really vibrant. Does anyone have any experience of bringing their geckos out temporarily? I was thinking...

Hello all members! I found this site a while ago when the idea of actually getting my first own pet slowly started develop.. It started when I visited a small reptile exhibition close to where I live just for fun, and the geckos there were soo cute! I spend a lot of time at work, have cat/dog...

Hi, I wonder I anyone has tips to share about how to best introduce a new phelsuma to the one you already have? I have a 14 months old male phelsuma madagascariensis grandis, and I want to get him a partner. Since he's reached an age of sexual maturity, is it important that the female has too...

Hi! My (first ever) gecko is moving in in a couple of days. It will be awsome and I think I'm well prepared :D I know I should feed him twice a week in the winter, one with insects and once with fruit, but my question is: how much? I guess I just supposed that e.g. one cricket a week would be...
