picture of Lola and Tony's "oops" baby

[Gecko Newbie]

The one that hatched from the first clutch....he/she ate the other egg.... ew.

Cute, though, huh?

Looks like a nice tangerine or high yellow. What a cutie, but it ate the other egg??? How?!?!:shock:

Oh and when are you going to post pics of Tony and Lola? (did I miss them??)

 

[Gecko Newbie]

Thanks everyone! Technically, he/she isn't mine, tho. I gave the eggs from the first clutch to one of my students because he didn't want me to give them to the pet store (that was a different post). His mom told me they had made an incubator with a plastic tuperware thing filled 1/2 way with coconut fiber I had given them and a heat lamp. ??? When they looked in the box on Friday - just two eggs. When they looked Monday morning, this little baby gecko was in there all by him/herself and the other egg was empty. They brought them in to me - one had a little slice in it and the other was completely cut open from one end to the other and curled in on itself (like when something wet dries).

Having never bred geckos (or anything really), I just shrugged and said, "I don't know what to tell you....I'll post on the forum about it." This little one is really active (he/she was in our classroom all day), so I don't see anything wrong with it. The family doesn't know if he/she's shed yet, though, but she pooped. They tried giving her baby crickets, but she ran away from the crickets....?? Again - I didn't know what to tell them. Any advice on that that I can relay to them?

I'm kind of sad I don't have Lola's first baby, but...oh well, I've got 2 other eggs that may hatch - though they look like they're caving in on themselves....?? Now that my students have seen the baby - they all want one!! Kids!

oh! And the picture came from the parent of the student who took the eggs. I'll bring a camera to school today and try to snap some shots of Lola and Tony.

You could try small mealworms for the baby which may not be so threatening. Most of them start eating really slowly and only eat a few at a time for awhile.

Great, thanks! I'll send home some of our tiny mealworms and a gatorade cap for them to try.

I'm sure I'll have more questions from them - whatever I can't find already posted or in a book, I'll be asking you all!!

wierd tail. It looks like it will be a normal. Very cute.

 

[cat_named_noodles]

Too much tang to be a normal IMHO; it's most likely a tangerine, possibly hypo.

Mom and Dad

I made an album of pictures of Lola and Tony (and their baby) on my profile - for all those interested.

Lola looks like a hypo tangerine. =] But I'm not completely sure, I'm no expert. Lol.

 

[Gecko Newbie]

The consensus seems to be Hypo Tangerine for Lola and High Yellow for Tony. I'll have to change my signature.... My student promised to send me pictures of their baby (Emma for now) as it changes colors and gets bigger.
