Pachydactylus tigrinus pics

[Rhacodactyl]

I haven't noticed one, but their care is very simple. I kept my adult trio in a shoebox sized rubbermaid on sand with slabs of bark to hide under. I placed a small water dish on the cool end and a heat strip under the opposite end. During the day they were always found under the bark on the hot side (females also deposit their eggs here). I started using a food dish as well and they took to it quickly-I could leave several mealworms in it every evening and they'd be gone in the morning. They're extremely prolific as well. I sold my breeders about a month ago, but I still have babies hatching about once a week.

It seems males are harder to find than females...any thoughts about a possible TSD with tigrinus?

Yes, males are definitely harder to find and to produce.

"Someone" from Oklahoma suggests incubating for males in the mid to upper 80s F. You never want to overpopulate with females, believe me :biggrin:. Been "there", waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too many "ladies"!
