Hey,

Finally last night and tonight I had my first cat gecko hatchlings from my Silver Eye pair. Just over 3 months incubation.

Emerging from egg:

Also just so happened a Bavayia robusta was taking his first look at the world at the same time the cat gecko was, just thought it was a cool pic:

Thanks Derek

Very nice Derek. Still looking forward to when you get a few of these hatched out so we can do some bloodline trading. They look fantastic!

The more CB felinus the better

Update time,

They are both growing like weeds, and looking very nice (atleast I think so )

Here are some pics:

Looking good Derek! They don't look very happy to see you though!:lol:
That's great that they're growing like weeds. Felinus aren't known for doing much of anything quickly!

I hatch mine at naturally fluctuating room temperatures in perlite or vermiculite and distilled water in the standard 1:1 ratio by weight. Incubation times can take anywhere from about 70 days to 120 depending on temps. The warmer the temps the faster the hatch. But experimentation has show that the fast hatch babies tend to also be weaker and more prone to deformities.

It usually takes a few days before they start to eat. But they don't tend to be problem feeders like some species.
