Paroedura androyensis

[mat.si]

Hi!
I didn't have much time to post anything on the forums lately, but here are some very cool and extremely underrated geckos I like working with very much. Small in size, but big in character - Paroedura androyensis.
Enjoy!

very nice pictures!
Are this CB's of your own breeding?

These guys are really cute!
Their funky little tails and their white bellies

Very cool Matjaz! I got some nice ibityensis recently that I'm really enjoying. Perhaps androyensis will be my next Paroedura.

I can really recommend this species, Ethan. Very cool and not nervous like some other Paroedura. They climb well, but it seems they mostly keep to the ground. Great to keep in bigger groups, like 1.2, 1.3 or so.

I hatched a bunch of babies this year, but the ones in photos are my breeding adults, all CB. Some of these came from you, Sacha.

Oh. Well I didn't remember that. I always wondered where all the animals I bred in the last years are gone... I'm very happy to hear that some of them are breeding! But I wouldn't expect something else than successful breeding from you!
Do you share my experience, that the females are quite stable and the species is good to keep and breed at least?
Best regards
Sacha
PS: Maybe we meet in Hamm in September.

Peter brought four of your babies to Hamm for me last year. They were 1.3
Breeding is not so complicated and females do well as long as they have enough calcium to avoid any MBD problems with their rather frequent egg laying. Not all good looking hard eggs turned out to be fertile though.

 

[SHzac]

1.3 lucky you! Yes, especially when they start laying eggs this happens. I don't dust the prey for them, because I lost a lot of offspring by dusting their feeders. But I feed heaps of woodlice which are fed with cattle fish bones. It seems to be a good solution because my breeding group became nearly 5 years old. And maybe I should say, that there is a bright sun desert 50w on top of the tank... The animals seem to like it. They lay fertile eggs every two weeks to three weeks.

Sacha

At last my first post in this forum. ;-)

I have also a little (beginner-) success with this very interesting species. I've got a WB pair and a CB group of 1.2
They all do well with Sachas good tips :biggrin: and I have my first two offsprings.
My CB female is still in a good condition although she is laying like a chicken. I often feed woodlice and also use lamps with UV radiation.

Sacha and Matjaz I'm glad to meet you in Hamm! ;-)


P.S. How I can post pictures? I've got an advice "Post denied" ?

Hi!
I upload photos by first uploading them to my photobucket account (or use any other photo uploading site) and then copy/paste-ing the links here to my posts.
It should look like this:

Thank you!
