just an "other" gecko

Hi all,

Wanted to share pictures of this plain species. It appears, that it's not featured at the forum.
These are recent 'colonists' at my home :lol:

Thats cool. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome. This is Cyrtopodion caspius? I could use some more Palearctic bent-toed geckos myself.

Very cute species.

 

[kirak]

Thanks all

This is Cyrtopodion caspius?

Exactly

 

[Palor]

Those are some pretty neat looking geckos.

Do all Cyrtopodion benefit from a rough surface to climb vertically on? Just curious, as all the pictures have them hanging off the wall.

A somewhat unexpected event, but nice nevertheless

How long was the incubation? I incubated a few clutches of Cyrtopodium scabrum close to 100F (don't have the notes handy, but I think it was 98F/36.6C) and they hatched in 30days. About 15 days faster than eggs cooked at 32-33C.

@panthergecko Thanks
@danscantle These were incubated at constant 28C/82.4F, it took 44 days. This is the first time I breed them and I was expecting a bit longer incubation since Henkel & Schmidt (1995) suggest 55-70 days at 28C.

Congrats! Such a cute little baby.

nice one... c'gratz

Hannibal, chungga - thanks.
There are more on the way - these geckos are egg laying machines..:shock:

Beautiful. There aren't enough Cyrtopodion in this hobby.
