first F3 Paroedura masobe babies

[mat.si]

Hi!
First two F3 masobe babies from one of my F2 females have finally hatched a few days ago. :cheer::cheer: (I finally got to use this one.)

The incubation lasted almost exactly 6 months. As always, it was a very long wait, but I'm getting used to it with masobe as I successfully produce more babies with each following year.
Hopefully the future of P. masobe in captivity will seem a little bit brighter now.

More babies should come in the following months.

Fantastic, how many babies a year are you hatching? Still can't believe how long the incubation is, 3 months nearly kills me

Thanks Derek

Awesome!!! Glad to know that there are people out there that can successfully breed them.:biggrin:

 

[mat.si]

Thanks to all.
to Derek: I've sent you a pm, also about your geckos.

The best way to deal with 6 months incubation is, to just forget about the eggs until they hatch.

Fantastic! It's so nice to see someone breeding these guys with some consistency. It shows that it CAN be done. Now if we can just get some more people doing it.

Hi Ethan!
That's why I'll only sell sexed masobe groups for now and try to make sure to release them into responsible hands of dedicated breeders.

Captive bred masobe are not that hard to keep and breed, but you must still have enough experience and know what you are doing.

Well when you next send over some to the U.S., let me know. I'd love to have a pair of captive breds to work with.

A little update on my first F3 babies that hatched last year.

Seven months later, here are two beautiful, already subadult females.

Hi Matjaz,



they look sooo beautiful, congratulations!!!

 

[DDReptiles]

They look incredible

Simply gorgeous Matjaz! :drool: At what age/weight do they tend to be ready to breed? Also, I'm curious as to how many clutches they tend to produce per year?

 

[mat.si]

Hi!
They can already reach the adult size in about a year, but it's better not to breed them until they are about 1.5 years old.
Females can produce between 3 and 5 clutches of one or two eggs per year. Clutches are laid about two months apart. Not all eggs are always good, so on average one female produces about 6 babies per year, young females around 4, the record was 9.


Regards, Matjaz
