F2 Johor silver eye felinus babies

[mat.si]

Hi!
I wasn't even sure this pair of eggs was fertile, since I found it less than a month after I placed my F1 male from Sune with the F1 female from Marcus. And the male was still a bit small, although the female (CB 2006) was already quite huge.
But the eggs continued to look good and a few days ago I found my first two F2 silver eye babies. They have a lot of white spots/scales on their tails and they already show a nice pattern on their backs. I'm definitely keeping these.
:yahoo::cheer:
Another pair of eggs is still incubating (at 21 to 26 C).
Thanks to Marcus and Sune for great F1 animals.

Regards, Matjaz

PS: Not very good photos, but I didn't want to bother them too much.

Nice way to start off the New Year! Congrats Matjaz.

Very light eye coloration and beautifully colored.There is quite a bit of variation in the color of Silver Eyed Felinus.Great work .I wanted to let you know that 24 days is the shortest time between copulation and egg deposition that I have recorded.Easy to monitor when you keep your geckos individually.Be prepared for more eggs if she is housed alone again.Temperature will also play a role in continued egg production.

Congrats again, the New Year is looking good for you

Beautiful babies, love how the one has the white tip on the tail!!

They actually both have white tail tips.

Photos #2 & #3 = baby #2

I found the eggs exactly 25 days after I placed them together, but she probably laid them a couple of days earlier.

Hey Yuri!
Happy 2008 to you too. I guess you got my e-mail.
It was nice to see you in Hamm last month. Your presence always makes the fatigue more bearable. :cheer:

Nice looking babies. That white on tip of tail should go away and/or turn black after a while. From my experience that is evident only in eggs incubated at slightly higher than normal temperatures and babies are smaller at hatch, short incubation time etc. I am curious as to your incubation temps and if this might be true of yours?

I have some silver eyed juvies that were "incubated" in the enclosure with the adult female that hatched out at normal size that had the white tail tip. Now, that's not to say that perhaps they didn't go through a warm spell or something while in the egg. But they didn't go through anything extreme. Nothing warmer or cooler than normal room temps (low to mid 70's). I'm not certain how long the incubation time was as I wasn't even aware that they were in there until I opened up the enclosure one day and there were two babies cruising around.

They were incubated at 21 to 25 C, the incubation lasted about three months.

Interesting, I did have one pair of eggs incubate at those temps, with a week long spike in temps through setting container above a shelf/flourescent light hot spot at mid-term and found them with white tails on hatching like other "warmed" individuals. It does look to be an obvious use so maybe just an odd case in my experiences. Matjaz, you are an expert in too many genus', I have to give you credit for your success.
Ethan, you have to e-mail me about the Blue-Tegu situation. I had 4 blues a while back and was lucky to get $150 for sub-adults, now I want to get a few for my only display tank and they are hard again to come by. I love geckos, but I need one cage I can throw a mouse into and see it destroyed. I sold my last blue tegus and a pair of Chocoan White heads to some Crips in Long Beach...they liked to see them eat too.
