Good job Nicolas! I was always fascinated by this species. Are your adults good eaters?

Once again, amazing geckos! ;-) as captives they're almost reminiscent of N. wheeleri

These guys are really neat.... much more prehistoric looking than their more popular cousins!
Congrats =)

Great job, Nicolas! Wish I had a male for my lonesome female.

Cheers

[Nicolas]

;-) A male for you is always in my mind hope the sex ratio will be good.

Follow up :

Incredible growing rate, sex determination seems to be possible very early (as I could see with the original group when I got them 2 years ago) ; my newborn F1 should be 1.1.

Babies taylori need help feeding as WC in first captive stage ; definitively a termite eater as some Diplodactylus.

The first meal needed 30 minutes :crackup::crackup: and each gecko ate 2 Acheta domesticus dusted with MinerAll.

Now, 1 week after the shedding they got 2 crickets every day and the help feeding only takes 2 minutes.

Maybe they will eat on their own from the beginning, if they are introduced for a few generations into captivity.

maybe ...but they have really a typical "termite nose" cf Diplodactylus conspicillatus or pulcher.

It won't be a "terrific" problem I hope if I remember that after some weeks my WC youngs did accept crickets without any trouble

AMAIZING ANIMALS!! Congrats Nicolas!!

I haven´t got any troubles with Diplodactylus pulcher, although in my experiencie D. conspicillatus is harder to feed...

This specie is one of my futures projects, please, keep us updated! good luck!
