Some of the yolk sac was still attached. It finally detached this evening, but I'll be closely monitoring the progress of this little gecko.

There was some blood in the incubation container.

#2-As soon as I saw that the second gecko had hatched, I opened the incubation container. It darted across my hand, jumped down to the floor, ran behind some cabinets, scurried up the wall, and was finally caught after falling from a curtain! This one is really wild, unlike most of the hatchlings that have been produced.

I was just given this Phelsuma laticauda laticauda by the owner of a local shop. It apparently came in on a shipment of flowers from either Florida or Hawaii. Whoever received the flowers brought the gecko into the shop. When I stopped by the store, I asked, "What is in the little container over there?" I was told it was a "house gecko" hatchling. I asked to see the container and was easily able to identify this little gem. Can they ship flowers directly from Hawaii?

It is a little skinny, but is feeding well. (D. hydei on its head)

Thank you. Does anyone else constantly check their incubators? I was really excited about this little Phelsuma standingi as the clutch got off to a bad start. The female laid in an odd spot, the male was a bit too curious, the eggs slid down a bamboo crevice, and one egg was damaged. I carefully removed the damaged egg at some point early in incubation and hoped that this one would make it. It did! They really are fantastic. I think I have too many as favorites because I like each one for different reasons.
