Yes Jon does but they are not cheap by any means.

No disrespect Jon you know that. . just to rich for my blood right now lol. Great animals though. If I had it I'd buy the whole cup full.

Oh and it was meant as rugosus are expensive because of how rare they are not because you are sellin them hahaha sorry if there was a mix up about that.

Hi Stefan,

The juvenile P. rugosus are not from this year they are from last year. It's still a bit too early in January for me to have that many surplus rugosus setting around waiting to have their photos taken

Hi Stefan,

Just remember the incubation for this species is very long for a Pachydactylus. Average duration is 75-90 days, with some hatchlings taking more than 100 days to hatch. Post pics when you have success (I'm sure you will).

The eggs are breeding for 70 days now....
Hopefully pics will follow!

I got eggs from my rugosus, how does one incubate them?
In Fine sand at what temps ect?
Any help appreciated.

 

[blair]

Hello,

I incubate them at 26°C, in sand 90% burried.
Humidity is 80% in my incubator.
When you come from South Africa, you can incubate the eggs at surrounding temperature ;-)
I hope I could help you...

regards Stefan

Yes Stefan you know its crazy there are very very few people even keeping these geckos here hence the zero info.
Unfortunately the one egg had been trampled on and subsequently broke!
How many days did yours eggs hatch after? And should i be expecting another clutch or are two eggs normally only laid in one season?
THANKS!

Hello Tyrone,

yes in europe the situation with the P.rugosus keepers is the same that's why they are so expensive.
The eggs hatches after 90- 115 days and my female layed 24 eggs the last season. ;-)
7 of them hatched.

regards Stefan
