Back from Daytona, didn't get anything...

[Derek]

but when I came home, I had a lot of new geckos staring at me in the incubator =)

Daytona was great. Got to chat with a few old friends, and meet a couple of people I've only chatted with over the internet. Hope to see many more people next year!

Enjoy the pics

Good to talk to you in Daytona, Derek. Great job on all of the babies!!! You are definitely a Nephrurus wizard.

BTW, I didn't get anything in Daytona either (aside from a few cages). Nothing really tickled my fancy. Hamm on the other hand... :lol:

Who needs to buy geckos in Daytona when you have these beauties in your incubator!

 

[ReptileKings]

Man am I jealous. :shock:
I definitely agree with Marcia.

Great job.

Those are amazing. I cant wait to get into Aussy geckos. I know what all of them are except for the dark velvet if its even a velvet gecko. May i ask what that one is. That is amazing. I also love the wheeleri. One of the only knobtail i truly love.

Thanks for all of the nice comments. It's always great coming home to new hatchlings but it also takes a lot of work. I actually lost 2 of the hatchling robusta as I was trasfering them to their containers. They are much faster than the other species of Oedura I keep and I wasn't expecting them to just dart out. Anyway, I hope everyone is having a great year!

Strickdistance - The dark velvet geckos is a O.robusta.

At least four of the animals living on my house are escaped hatchling robusts. I now open theeir incubator containers inside a rubbish bin.

Very nice!

 

[Precision Herp]

:shock: Congratulations and good luck with them. Thanks for sharing the photos.

 

[Derek]

Thanks again guys.

Geckodan - I did open the incubation containers for the other hatchling robusta in a large tub and I managed not to let these ones escape. I actually caught one of the escaped robusta along with a marmarata the other day. I was suprised the marmarata didn't eat it but I guess the robusta are just too fast!

but I guess the robusta are just too fast!

I thought they would slow down a bit with age. Man, I have to chase those suckers around the gecko room all of the time. I might as well keep Phelsuma again. Being the sloth that I am, my wife always loves to watch me chase the robusta around the room. She doesn't even help me.

Better watch out Nathan. If you let a couple of them slip through the fingers, you might end up with a colony of robusta in your garage!
