Gecko Baby mixup

[Brian]

These hatched at the same time while I was gone. One is luii the other is araneus. Care to guess?

 

[PassPort]

good luck with that one. a complete guess, but I'd say the smaller one in the background is the araneus based on size.

 

[Brian]

I was going to guess the bigger one was araneus because they seem to come out ready to shed for me. I mean I know who the parents are once I know what species. I just need to wait I guess.

time will tell

 

[Geckos and Goannas]

I think the smaller. more tan.

 

[Brian]

Well even though the white lines still go to the eyes the araneus babies at least for me seem a tiny bit lighter and the band gets a little more diffuse so I think I solved the mix up.

What about the white tail bands? I have no clue if it works for these species, but in some, there's a specific number of coloured bands in the tail. I noticed that one of yours had 6, the other has 7 white bands. Does this by any chance match up with the adults?

great babies

Hey, looks like things are going well (don't know if you got pm as I've been gone a while). It's good to see the goni community is alive and well and hope the other eggs continue to come out as great as the guys pictured above!

 

[bo farum]

Yeah it's going great. i've just hatched 2 more luii during the past week and have 2 hainanensis eggs cooking and then i think it's over for this season
