Fortunate to get a hatchling from my Ptychozoon female. When I got the female about a year ago she was in bad shape. This is the typical condition of imported Flying geckos. I nursed her and a male back to health. Took all winter to get weight on them. I choose not to put them together...

Fall 2013 Lygodactylus williamsi are all sexable. Once again, female offspring are no problem. Results: 6 females and 3 males. All were raised strictly under non-UVB light utilizing increased dietary vitamin D3 and calcium. All were transported across the state into a new facility. All...

From Spring 2013: 2 - P inexpectata, 6 eggs to go (they had a breeding spurt) 2 - P. klemmeri (from a female who was 10 years old) 5 - L. williamsi, 1 egg to go The five L williamsi are all looking like females. I was hoping for a more even sex ratio but will know for sure in a couple of...

Records for my Lygodactylus williamsi are published in GU Blog. Link posted below. Record of sex outcome of each offspring is guaranteed. Females identified by lack of femoral pores, and secondarily confirmed by appearance of dud eggs. Males identified by visible femoral pore. Visualizing...

Looking at all the posts about L williamsi one would think these are impossible to keep, breed or sex. I am having no problems Six hatchlings from the fall are sexable. 3 males and 3 females. 50/50. Can't get better than that. At 4 months, L williamsi are easy to sex. It is very evident...

For the record, I have now raised L williamsi for over two years now and I have never used any UV lights, artificial or sunlight, ever. I use dietary calcium and vitamin D3. 12 L williamsi hatchlings (one death from crushing) 3 wild caught (2 deaths: one eaten by water dragon, one failed to...

I've learned the hard way about people in the reptile industry over the years. I've been disappointed with people over and over in co-ops...even people I swore were honest people. What I've learned is that it's difficult to tell who to trust. P. inexpectata I've kept to myself for almost 8...

Despite my efforts to set up and maintain a good co-op things happen. People's lives change: they may become disinterested, get a new job, have babies, move, etc. And I've had co-op members go through these and other situations. Co-op members who have changes in their life should be honest...

Two Lygodactylus willialimsi hatched, one yesterday and one today, with 22 hours of each other. The color is remarkably bright. #1 hatched 55 days and #2 56 days after egg was laid. For me this is the shortest period from laying to hatching. My females took longer to hatch. Since the...

So why bother with co-op when it comes to reptiles? A co-op is called for when there are few specimens of a single species available for breeding. A co-op is needed efforts are limited by a closed area like the United States. Import and export regulations do not allow easy access to CITES...

Just wanted to add to the database of information on L. williamsi: L. williamsi hatched on 2-12-2012 good growth with no health issues raised individually and not within a group ID as female in April due to light chin coloration Laid 1 dud egg today, 6-21-2012 Confirm initial ID as female due...

After some really slow to near zero results for P. barbouri for many years I have success. :yahoo: Thanks to Harold @ CCHERPS and Elizabeth for working with me on the co-op.:)

Elizabeth & Harold!!! After a long wait my female P. barbouri laid an egg....:yahoo::yahoo: This is Harold's male P. barbouri, Fusion, and an older female P. barbouri that laid the egg. It's a HUGE egg. She laid it in a plant so I can remove it for incubation.

The December issue of Reptiles Magazine finally arrived at area pet stores. :yahoo: The L. williamsi story that Maureen helped on (much more experience than me!) is the cover story. Bill Love took the centerfold picture of the L. williamsi. It's great.

Yesterday I found my first hatched L williamsi from a WC female who has been with me for a while. It is a bold little thing. First thing it did was jump on my hand, hug me for my heat and made itself at home. Immediately I could see that the enclosure I set up for baby L. williamsi was...

Re: U.S. Phelsuma cepediana breeding project Postby Leann@daygecko.com » Wed Jan 19, 2011 9:36 am 2010 - Update The co-op has four keepers still working cooperatively on cepediana in the U.S. One of the original keepers traded his stock to a keeper outside the co-op but that keeper has shown...

You asked me earlier how old until I can tell if a juvenile is male or female. I just ID a male from my 2008 offspring. It was about four months old and the femoral pores were very distinct - it's a boy! =D> The back pattern of the male is not complex. Again, maybe a clue to sex id of the young.

On the age thing, I am wondering what other people have noticed about when reproductive age ends in this species. It seems short compared to other species I’ve worked with, and that might be part of the problem with keeping the species going in captivity. For females, at what age do they quit...

Postby Melodyh » Sun May 11, 2008 12:57 pm Hi all, Of the 6 offspring from 2007 here, there are 4 males (woo hoo!) and 2 females. The oldest male is getting nice blue colors! The mothers of these are sisters, and are offspring of Leann’s Pair 1 and an unrelated (deceased) male. Father is male...
