Thank's everybody,
bigger female takes cricket in one second when I put it just front the nose and eat in some seconds, little female need some gentle stimulations and after 20-30 seconds she opens the mouth and take the head of the cricket, she keep the cricket about 45 seconds and after eat quickly ; the male is more shy and need very smooth and short stimulations two or three times but once cricket is taken he eats in some seconds too .
They are young geckos born 2007, with fat tails and well hydrated who had got the minimum of stress during the transport, perhaps perhaps perhaps !!!!!!............ but I know it would be a real challenge.

Great!
Thanks for pics again!
As for me, terrarium looks not small.
Nicolas, tell please, what do You use as substratum - does it some kind of white sand?

Hppy to seem them eating
Hi Nic
I am happy to see that you are getting along with them so well.
I was worried I might get complains after a few weeks as in the beginning they are a bit twisty but so far everyone who bought them is doing just fine with them.
I wish everyone success and am very happy to see that things are going so good. I hope we can get a good captive population going with time.
Best regards

Tom, thanks you having made possible the first step (and certainly the most important) of this challenge : to get young (not too young but just a few monthes old) geckos with the minimum of physiological stress and optimal exportation conditions.
I have made a coproscopy today and founded no significative pathogens another good step.
I consider now as fundamental to exchange as much as possible experiences about feeding and metabolism factors specific to hemitheconyx taylori.
Working alone with such a challenging gecko would be for me not only a mistake but a nonsense
Just think about the great work of Matsi (and some others) with the challenging Paroedura masobe ; some years ago most of us thought it would be impossible just to keep masobe alive more than 3 monthes and now Mat has F3 animals.
