re: electric blue gecko

hi-

I went into a local pet store here in Ireland
and enquired about the pea**** day gecko,

he said it might be possible for him to get them
in and he also said I may like the electric blue gecko..

I came accross this thred about electric blue geckos
and I'm curious to the rough life expectancy of these lizards
when kept in captivity.

If you could help me out asap as I would like to
buy a nice vivarium which I have seen for a good price.

Thanks :)

I see people feed fruit flies and pin heads? I have never dealt with any lygos before, or anything that small in general. LoL. I just picked up my first small geckos this week (baby pachydactylus carinatus) and love how cool these little guys are and thought I would also try some lygos and fell in love with the beautiful colors of the williamsi. Sorry for the long windedness but my question is, since I have never had to deal with fruit flies before are hatching lygos large enough to eat pin heads or are fruit flies a staple to their diets? Also are the grapes and hunny important or just extra treats?

Hi there, i have had my electric blue gecko for a few months now, and ive noticed a mite or two and ive seen that everyone recommends giving them a bath but how on earth is that possible without them running away. My lizard is specifically named Blitz for this specific reason. If you play with them outside of their cage will they not jump off of you. Thanks- Gabi

do u think i could safely keep one of these males with a female of a dwarf gecko species? i was thinking of the yellow headed, as i want more than one lizard but would rather avoid eggs.

Anyone attempting to offer freshly born B.dubias (for adults)?? I have a 2 month old Cham thats taking them with no issues. Just wanted to know since i have a colony and have access to them (would also like to provide varity).

Also how good , if at all is their sense of smell? Could you possibly mix a solution of water with traces of honey or baby fruit to lightly mist feeders (like dubias)to make them more attractive?

I'll be takeing the plung into L.williamsi eventually and would like all the info i can digest..I have exhausted my search toolbar, lol. I would really like to hear from first hand accounts.


Thanks in advance.

Click to expand...

I accidently figured out a way to catch them, lol

I have a 16oz clear deli cup that i placed dusted crickets in. Well the sides on the cup got a light coating of powder. I notice this geckos would climb down to get crickets and was unable to climb back up because they would get powder on their pads and it would not allow them to get grip.

I assume you can do this on purpose to catch them. Just mist the enclosure you are putting them into so they can wash the powder off as they move about.

ok thanks for that info i saw that crickets couldn't climb out with calcumium on them but didn't think it would affect the gecko.

Thanks for all the help mate!
