Hi Guys,
Ive had my Lygodactylus Williamsi (Day Gecko's) for 1 year now and both appear to be really happy and healthy! She is rather a nervous soul and runs a mile whenever i open up unless she thinks its food, and he is very relaxed and even allows me to touch him without much fuss
Now hear is what i want... as you can imagine id like to see some baby gecko's and wondered if im possibly doing something wrong as i dont seem to see them behaving the way they should in a breeding manor! any ideas?
Also my Enclosure is watered regularly and i have a little fountain that the gecko's enjoy having a drink from on a morning ive noticed, lots of branches and vines with 2 bushes for them to shelter and hide in with a 60w basking bulb which holds temperatures in there at 78-85c.
Their diet consists of 2nd and 3rd silent crickets (favorite) with caterpillars and occasionally hoppers (not massively keen) and rarely mealworms. Id love to give them fruit like banana but how do they feed from that as they never really go near the bottom if it was in a dish and only really seem to attack food if it moves... and obviously banana doesnt move so how can i entice them to it? put it on the vines perhaps? i also dust the food with calcium!
Ill happily put some pics up if you like and any advice would be very much appreciated!
Thanks
