Pachydactylus rugosus babies

[mat.si]

Hi!
Here are some of my first P. rugosus babies I hatched over the last couple of months. I like my geckos spiny, so I just couldn't ask for more with this species. :biggrin:

Beautiful Matjaz, do you have photos of your setups at all please?

 

[mat.si]

No setup photos on hand at the moment. Sorry.
I'm not making any promises, but one of these days....

 

[mat.si]

It's basically an inch of sand, some cork branches and cork pieces, a couple of black plastic hides per enclosure and a small water bowl.

Thanks Matjaz, May I ask what size the breeding pairs enclosures are?

 

[PassPort]

what spiny little gems!

 

[Sybet]

Mat, do you use a nest box at all or are they just laying their eggs in the dry sand????

 

[mat.si]

The enclosures for adult pairs or trios are 45x50x40.

They just lay in the dry sand. Sometimes they bury the eggs under the hide, sometimes just outside in the open, usually near some branch or cork.

A big pile of disturbed sand is usually a good indication of egg(s) being laid.
Eggs are relatively big and very fragile. Digging them up requires a steady hand and some patience. That's why I prefer to give them just a few cm of sand.
