I woke up today to find one of my P. quadriocellata almost paralyzed, unable to move in a bromeliad. I put her in an "ICU" box, but I think I will have to euthanize her pretty soon, as it does not look very good. She was fine a day or two ago where i definitely saw it hunting and successfully...

As you can see I overcame my fear of bamboo and decided to put a few different thicknesses and shades of it into the cage. There is one more halved bamboo tube on the left, which is hidden behind the first one from this angle. The cork on the walls is the smoother kind of "natural" cork. I just...

What kind of surfaces do your Phelsuma species prefer? As some might remember i built a cocofiber/foam background for my quadriocellata. It looks ok, but it quickly became apparant that the gecko doesnt like touching it very much. I dont think I have ever seen her use it. This lead me to...

Havent been too active on any forums lately because my studies are taking most of my time and attention. But this is def. worth a post. I am more then ecstatic at the moment :banana: I just found my first clutch of what appear to be fertilized eggs. They were laid under leaf-litter in the...

I found my female quadriocellata without the tip of her tail today. I would say maybe the lower third is missing. There have been no large food items in her cage and she has no tankmates. Has anyone seen this before? I cannot remember having read about anything similar. She has been fit and...

Got a few shots of my female today, some days she seems to forget her shyness for a few seconds. She is still enjoying the single life too. Sorry for the not-so-awesome quality, but as always i had to shoot through the glass, which I haven't cleaned recently. somewhat out of focus, but i...

I found two calcified eggs in my phantasticus females enclosure. Both were opened. She has not been with a male since last year at the previous owners place. Where she was mated and layed fertilzed eggs. Is it possible that she retained sperm from last year? I cannot remember reading anything...

When you feed your Uroplatus snails, what size do you use, compared to f.eks the width of the head? I have not tried it yet, but can immagine a cricket-size snail would be to big for a sikorae.

I just moved my adult male into the same terrarium as the female. It did not even take 2 minutes before they started mating. I am a bit confused as they should not be mating until the spring. I have just started giving them cooler nights and cutting back on misting (at the moment less then half...

Congrats on the successful season! Your female sameiti looks amazing, the greens are killer :D

When you introduce new animals to a group or put together two animals for breeding etc, do you move the animals during the day or the night (activity-period)? Im leaning a bit towards introducing them during the day, so that the stress level for the moved animal is lowered somewhat before it is...

Just finished converting a 10 gallon aquarium to a terrarium this past weekend and finally got it set up. Its currently housing my youngest male sikorae. And here is the thanks I got:

Hi, has anyone ever tried keeping a smaller male with an adult female? It would be better for both, cagesizewise, if it works out. I would say he is about 2/3 of her size and about 1 year younger. Cheers, Jan Philip

Here are two pics of my female Phelsuma q. quadriocellata, Pepper. The pics are a bit blurry because I had to shoot her from a distance, through glass. She is very shy and hates the camera.

Took a few pics of some of my Uroplatus sikorae sikorae tonight: Ernesto - He realy likes the bromeliad, I have them in all my enclousures. Mickey Mallory

I haven't posted anything here in a while, so here is an update on my P. q. quadriocellata tank. It currently only houses my female. I am going to add a Ficus benjamina to give it a bit more foliage, but it is not anywhere near as bare as it seems in the picture. Most of the plants are small...

As this is my first try at pairing up geckos, I just wanted to check if I got my plan right. Since my sikorae are still to young, I will give it a go with my phantasticus pair. So far I have of course lowered the temps and I have been trying to give them realy cool nights aswell. I have cut...

Shot some pics of my males last night, not the best but i thought id share: Ernesto Until he didnt feel like playing model for me anymore Micky Micky might have to move on to new owners soon, as I have to many males and to few cages :sad:

I have a pair of phantasticus. I know the female laid eggs for the last owner sometime before december. She is only abit over 2 years old. I would like to put my male in with her, to see if i can get som eggs from them. But at the same time I am abit unsure if this would be the best thing to...

I have Uroplatus sikorae sikorae from two different bloodlines, two from each. The first two, are from different breeders, but the parents of the second one were bred by the same who hatched out the first one. I even had a third one from the original breeder some time ago. I think they are F2...
