Paroedura Picta "Bold Stripe" Group

[Derek V]

This is my bold stripe trio. They are the best 3 stripes I produced in 2010. Can't wait to see what they produce for me! First is a big fat female, second is by far my favorite of the group and last is my big ol' male in shed and possibly het for Anerythristic.

Thanks!

 

[aquamentus_11]

very nice. how long is that male?

 

[Derek V]

Including his tail he is around 6.5 inches

 

[aquamentus_11]

oh wow. you meant it when you said he was big. hopefully i can get my little guy up there eventually

 

[Derek V]

Yeah his dad is pushing 7 inches

so, bold stripe means a white stripe,flanked bij thinner black ones?
this is the same for "3stripe"?
are there more varieties from this head to tail stripe?
and... they are really nice , my 6 month old young ones are skinny compared to that.

 

[Derek V]

No the triple stripes have 3 white stripes. I would love to get my hands on some, but it seems no one is working with triple stripes anymore? Mine are fed very well haha I breed crickets, mealworms, and roaches to feed them.

 

[aquamentus_11]

how easy are the roaches to breed? i won't have a lot of time to look after them

 

[creacat69]

I am going to read about dubia too, maybe it is possible to replace crickets by dubia?

 

[Derek V]

I believe it is, but I prefer variety personally. Dubias are very easy to breed I'm sure there are some good threads on here about care and breeding.

 

[aquamentus_11]

i read a few of them, but wanted to see what someone who hasn't written a guide on it had to say

 

[Derek V]

I think they are very easy to breed and care for. My only advice is to make sure not to feed from your colony until it is established.

Very nice looking geckos Derek. Congrats on what should be a great group to work with.

 

[Derek V]

Thanks I'm really excited to see the outcome
