It's shaping up to be a very good year here. I currently have three clutches incubating. I also have a lone female that I am about to introduce one of my CB males to so I can hopefully get them breeding. One clutch is due to hatch with in the next couple weeks or so. I just found my latest clutch today it was laid way down inside a corkbark tube and man were the eggs difficult to get out. I always plug up both the ends of the tubes with paper a dirt to prevent this from happening but my female managed to get through a hole a little bigger than a nickle which I never thought would happen. Well thats about it, hopefully you will see a post from me in a couple weeks about some new babies! Here are some pictures of my eggs and one of my female and latest hatchling.

Matt,

Mind posting a frontal shot of your enclosure? I'm curious to see if I'm heading in the same direction.

How many hatchlings this year?

I had 4 hatchlings in 2005 only 3 survived though, hopefully I'll have better luck this year. I'll post a pic of the cage shortly. Really nothing fancy, I has screen on the sides and top and glass on the rest with just a few pieces of corkbark and two potted plants stuck in it.

Have you you ever seen any male to male agression? I was thinking about setting up a 2.1 group. What do you think? What temp to you incubate?

Thanks

I have never noticed any aggression with my pietschmanni but I have heard others have had seen some minor aggression. My hatchlings will sometimes wave their tails at each other and chirp a little bit but thats about all. I currently have two of my hatchlings (they are fully grown now) from last febuary housed with a 1.1 pair making the ratio 3.1 and haven't noticed any problems. You can find all the information on how I keep my pietschmanni by looking at my caresheet which you can find here http://www.geckoworld.net/care_u.pietschmanni.htm
Hope this helps,

Beautiful geckos. Anyone know where I could find a pair or some offspring. There are few geckos anymore that really excite me, but this is one of them. I figure there kept similar to P. fantasticus? Correct? Also would anyone have a pdf of the article describing them. Thanks.

Best,

Chuck

pietschmanni are actually being kept by many in warmer and dryer conditions than u. phantasticus.

matt (mad) has a caresheet to help describe his success.
