phelsuma klemmeri questions

[cilatusguy]

hello, I've got some questions on P.klemmeri.

do they get along in groups as well as they say they do?

how many adults can fit in an 18'18'24

do females get along together (i've heard that they can be agressive)

thanks,

How many eggs are you getting from your trio? I'm just interested as I have talked with breeders who have claimed to have more success with pairs than with trios. I presently keep mine in a pair, but would really want to hear about your experience. I've had three clutches from my female and am awaiting a fourth that should be laid any day now. I think she started laying at the end of April.

Thanks!

Sorry to interrupt but Wanderer, I can't get over how cute your picture is. It makes me laugh every time. I will have to update mine to something like that. I have one of my tokay smiling :coverlaugh:

My females are laying every 21-25 days, so very fertile.

and my avatar is one of my standings day geckos when it was a juvenille, peeking out of its bamboo.

Phelsuma klemmeri is amongst the most tolerant of phelsuma species, however males do NOT get along with eachother, multiple females MIGHT but not HAVE to get along with eachother, i keep a trio 1.2 that was raised together and that are doing fine however a sudden change of dynamics within the group can occur at all times making the dominant female supress the other one. keep this in mind and surveillance is needed so you can seperate the less dominant female when this happens

if you add a female to an established couple in my opinion this will not work...

My 2 females are constantly laying eggs and they do not eat eachothers eggs which CAN be the case in a 1.2/1.3 constellation.

So 1.2/1.3 group is possible under the right circumstances but can go wrong at all times. A pair would be the easier way to go...
