    Paroedura - Very nice little animals

    I have been keeping Paroedura androyensis for a little over a year now. I got the male first, so I could get the hang of keeping them and in September I got my female, along with 3 unsexed juvies. I have been having a lot of luck with them and in addition to the now sexed adults, that were once...

    Having trouble with newly added automated misting for my P. klemmeri

    I recently switched my P. klemmeri over to a new enclosure. Prior to moving them in I installed automated misting in the tank. The first two days they seemed to do okay with the automatic misting and then on the third day the male started to stare at the mist heads all paranoid and the next day...

    Conflicting advice on supplements for Paroedura..

    I am getting a lot of conflicting advice on the use of supplements with Paroedura, mainly androyensis, masobe, gracilis and ibityensis. Picta is not included here because it is known to be one of the more 'hardier' geckos of Paroedura. Here is what I have heard: 1.) Some say any sort of...

    Where P. laticauda lay eggs!

    Hi All, I recently picked up a pair of P. laticauda laticauda and will be working on their permanent enclosure shortly. Since I have yet to find many P. laticauda setups online (mainly to see how the tubes are arranged), I figured it best to ask this question here. Maybe I will get different...

    Bromeliads with spiked leaves - Safe for Phelsuma?

    I know this has come up in the frog community and wondered if the same applies to Phelsuma (day geckos in general too) about bromeliads with spiky leaves. It is generally said the spikes feel much sharper to us than the frogs and that nobody had any issues so far with them cutting anything open...

    Your dirtiest Phelsuma is?

    While cleaning the glass doors today, I had to stop and think that my nigristriata are by far the dirtiest Phelsuma I own. Heck they are also the dirtiest gecko out of all the geckos I have. Do they really think I take great pleasure in cleaning off their crap twice a week? :coverlaugh: So...

    Night Lighting - Mixed enclosure

    Hi All, I forget if this has been covered before but I am curious about the effects of using night lights in tanks where diurnal animals are also present. I'm currently housing Lygodactylus williamsi and Paroedura androyensis together in a 50x50x70cm enclosure and would like to be able to view...

    Dehumidifier - Would this be safe?

    I am running in to some issues here in Germany which I never ran in to while living in the USA and that is mold. Here the majority of houses are built of concrete, no clue if this has much to do with it, but yeah we are getting mold in some of the rooms above the windows since our landlord...

    Phelsuma klemmeri: Interesting and puzzling issue with a runt

    In November of last year we had a P. klemmeri hatchling pip its egg open just a tad bit. After it not moving out of the egg for several hours I decided to help the little one out. When I finally made this choice the gecko appeared lifeless, so I figured no harm could come from taking it fully...

    Can it be done - Housing Phelsuma without a mate?

    I really enjoy many of the different Phelsuma's there are and unfortunately due to lack of space (I do not like to give my Phelsuma anything smaller than a 50x50x70(or 80)cm tank) i cannot have more than two breeding pairs, especially since I am breeding other types of geckos in addition to the...

    Two eggs now one?

    Recently I got a good look at the belly of my P. klemmeri and was happily delighted to see she is gravid again. There was with 100% positivity two eggs developing inside of her when I got a look at her belly. Last night I got another look at her as her belly is becoming more rounded and noticed...

    Mold or Eggs? Anyone know?

    While feeding all of my animals today, I thought that it had been awhile since I have seen my second Sphaerodactylus notatus male. So I decided to look for him and when I looked in his box I found a bunch of this stuff seen on the attached pic. Not really being so sure what it is I did a full...

    Can developing eggs emit hormones causing other eggs not to hatch?

    I know with some tadpoles they can emit hormones which suppress other tadpoles development when reared together. I am wondering if this maybe is the same with eggs? I have been incubating various eggs together in situ at the bottom of a tank behind me. There are 2 clutches of eggs from P...

    Phelsuma baby with kinked tail

    I had two Phelsuma nigristriata's hatch out on April 8th and 9th. The first one to hatch had a wavy tail, which I chalked up to being normal since I have seen it twice before in hatchlings (and have read it is normal due to how long they are in the eggs) and it usually does go away after a few...

    Lepidodactylus lugubris hatchlings!

    I recently decided to redo some tanks in my house and one for my lugubris was on my priority list. A few days ago I removed the adults and while doing so I found a mass load of eggs in a fern root trunk. I also discovered one of my females is gravid. Long story shorter. ;) I did not get to...

    P. nigristriata hatchlings do not get along with each other?

    I had two P. nigristriata hatch out recently. One yesterday and the other the day before. Previously my female was only laying single eggs so I never had to house two together yet. I am noticing the first hatchling doesn't really like the second one to hatch out. When they see each other the...
