Caught this little guy coming out. Thought it was an interesting picture.

End result.

Very nice pics. I have yet to catch one of my geckos hatching out.

 

[Kevin McRae]

Cute! I should have some of those hatching out in a few weeks too!

More pics!

Is that mauritanica?

 

[Bonehead]

Yes, they are T. mauritanica fascicularis. The larger egg in the container is one of the T. gigas eggs I have.

wow that gigas egg seems huge in contrast to the other ones...have you got measurements?
And nice hatchling, thanks for sharing

 

[Kevin McRae]

Do you have any pictures off your fascicularis? I think I have two different sub species of mauritanica. I've never seen one like my male.

Here's a pic, what do you think? I use to have 2.4, now 1.2, the male is the one on the left.

Kevin,
I am by no means an expert on the identity of these guys. The only reason I know what I have is because a friend of mine, who knows his stuff, picked mine out for me! If that wouldn't have happened, I wouldn't know. Looking at them, they seem to be different. Without sitting down and counting scales and all of that stuff, I couldn't tell you.

Kevin and Paul-

Can you post pictures of the head in profile? If you can get one clear enough to count scales we can rule something out.

 

[Kevin McRae]

Hope this is clear enough. This is my robust little guy.

Edit - Here is one of his girls.

Tanala,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you about the eggs. They are pretty large. I just pulled a clutch last night and weighed/measured them. The eggs are weighing between 3-4 grams. They have some sand and soil stuck to them, so I would go on the lighter side of that. Both eggs are about 2+cm (0.75 inches) long and 1+cm(.05 inches) wide. My conversion stinks, but that's as close as I can get for now.
