All, My female Strophurus strophurus laid a pair of eggs tonight that has me a little perplexed on how to incubate them. This clutch was attached to each other and unfortunately they are not parallel. If you take a look at the attached photos you can see that the eggs are offset by about 60...

Hello all, Any keepers of Australian geckos in the Denver area? I'm relocating from the North East. Hoping there are some keepers that will be nearby that I can swap bloodlines and species with. Thanks, Steve

Hello all, So a couple of months ago I mentioned that I am going to be moving across the country this Summer. I think I can handle transporting the geckos, though I think I will reduce the numbers a bit before I leave. However, I have a number of Strophurus, Nephrurus, and Rhacodactyus eggs...

Here are some of my Nephrurus and Underwoodisaurs. I was cleaning out some cages and thought I'd take some pictures. 1.) Baby N. laevissimus 2.) another 3.) Baby U. milii 4.) Adult pair of N. deleani 5.) Adult pair of N. amyae 6.) Juv N. amyae from the pair above 7.) Juv N. amyae from the pair...

Here are my trio of mainland R. chahoua. I believe both females are gravid now. Steve

Not sure which forum would be the best to ask this, so I thought I would post here for some guidance. I will be moving out to the South West this Summer and I'm hoping a few of you may have tips on how to move my collection. I don't have a huge number of animal (that is relative of course), 13...

Anyone ever had any luck feeding superworm beetles to various Nephrurus species? I'm just looking to add a little variety. Thanks, Steve

Hello all, Can anyone provide tips on keeping Nephrurus laevissimus? I've heard that they can be more challenging than most other Nephrurus. I have a couple juveniles heading my way when the temperatures warm up enough to ship (and after the holiday shipping glut). Any help is greatly...

Hello all, Has anyone had success feeding silk worms or horn worms to Nephrurus species? I'm looking for some additional variety for my animals. I do not want any roaches that can climb glass or plastic! Thanks, Steve

Hello all, Is anyone keeping and breeding Teratoscincus microlepis in the US? I used to keep them a long long time ago, but I really haven't seen any available at all in the US over the past year or two that weren't wild caught. They are one of my favorite geckos and I hope someone is having...

Hello all, I have an adult pair of N. deleani coming in the next couple of weeks. I am successfully keeping and breeding N. l. levis and N. amyae now. Any tips on keeping and breeding N. deleani? Should I keep them just as I am the N. l. levis? Thanks, Steve

Here are a few of my recent hatchlings. Madagascar meets Australia. Sorry the picture isn't great. I couldn't figure out how to turn the flash off on my son's new camera and it was pretty difficult to get all 6 of those guys to sit still. Regards, Steve

Here are a few of my recent hatchlings. Madagascar meets Australia. So from the patterns on the U. sikorae am I to assume that those are two males and one female? Sorry the picture isn't great. I couldn't figure out how to turn the flash off on my son's new camera and it was pretty difficult...

Hello All, I hatched out 3 beautiful little Strophurus strophurus over the last few weeks. They are doing well on tiny crickets, but I'm really not enjoying the need to continually purchase 1/8" crickets which seem to be rather perishable. Has anyone tried feeding fruit flies to hatchling...

Hello all, I currently have eggs incubating from S. strophurus and have gravid S. spinigerus, S. taenicauda, and S, williamsi. I hatched out some S. cilliaris a very very long time ago, so am a little out of practice. I have the S. strophurus eggs incubating in the same way that I am...

Hello all, I now have two clutches of U. sikorae (assuming they are U. s. sikorae) incubating now. The first clutch is from 4/12 and the second is from today (4/29), only 17 days between clutches. This seems to be a very short time span. Is this typical? Both clutches are well formed...

Hello all, I'm sure there is a FAQ somewhere on this, but I haven't found anything specific to U. sikorae. I found my first clutch of sikorae eggs today. They look to be fertile, nice round, and well formed. How should I go about incubating these? Similar to my Phyllurus eggs? 1:1 of...

Hello All, I have a young pair of U. sikorae that I got about 7 months ago. I'm not sure how old they are, but I believe they are coming up on a year now. The female is gigantic, probably 50% bigger than the male. I am keeping them separately at the moment, but have been thinking of putting...

So . . . Are S. wyberba big gecko eaters in the wild? I had both of my female wyberba in pouncing pose staring down my pair of Strophurus williamsi when I moved their cages together the other day. I doubt they could eat the female, but the smaller male probably would have made a nice snack! Steve

Hello all, Weather permitting I will have pairs of S. taenicauda, S. strophurus, and S. spinigerus arriving in the next few weeks. I have spare Zoomed 12"x12"x18" terrariums already that I would like to setup for them in as natural a manner as possible. Any suggestions, or even better...
