Nice animals Mallick, they are all stunning The first picture with the female is nice, and your new male has some sweet colorration on him

How old are they?

 

[Mallick]

First female don't know exactly but the two younger should be around 8/9 months.

 

[Robin Skrumsager]

Either way, they are all nice. Grats on them

I Bet you are already thinking about getting some more hehe

 

[Mallick]

[Debbie]

Congrats! Great animals!

 

[UroplatusSam]

The male is amazing.

 

[postskunk]

there all great but the male is exceptional

 

[Mallick]

Thanks guys, and especially Robin for giving me some extra tips about these animals.

I watched the last night with infrared light and saw the youngest female eat.

About the male: he is indeed very awesome, he really earns the satanic in satanic gecko, his body is like an inferno

 

[Robin Skrumsager]

No problem Mallick hope your experiance with this species will turn out good

They are some awsome geckos

 

[Viridovipera]

Amazing additions, good variation in the group too - should give you some cool looking little ones, if you are sucessfull with breeding them! Good luck with them, and keep the pictures comming :biggrin:

btw, are they cb in europe? Im going to start looking for some more phantasticus in a while, when my finances can handle it again :roll:, so knowing of some more possible breeders would be great.

Little update:

The females are doing good, they're even eating from my pincet (don't know a good english word for it )

The male is hanging out in the back of the viv, haven't seen him eating though...

 

[michael-kimmy]

Good to hear they eating... you have great phants.

 

[Mallick]

Male ate like crazy a few minutes ago. What a verocious beast!

Male ate like crazy a few minutes ago. What a verocious beast!

haha :crackup:, yeah when they lock onto a pray then they go "perfect killer mode" hehe

Nice to hear, that they will feed with a pincet. Are you doing this to them all? or trowhing in some crickets in the viv and let them hunt it down during the night?

Cheers

I set a dish with crickets or small mealworms in the viv. If the crickets decide to go out of the dish i wont get them back, i just let them freeroam. Some stay in the dish, so it depends on what the gecko's do. This way, i observed that the younger ones are more interested in the crickets in the dish as the older one likes to catch the freeroamers. Mealworms cant escape the dish. I will repeat pincet feeding once a week just to make sure the have eaten something.

I also saw the females wiggeling the outer tip of the tail when the male is in close range.
I could only decipher this behavior as "Leave me be, i got a headache"
Anyone got other theories on this?
