gravid paroedura androyenisis?

[RhacHouse]

It looks like she may finally have some eggs!:yahoo:

 

[smcnearn]

Thats a chubby girl! Is that bulge on her lower left side one of the eggs?!

Daddy is gorgeous too! Congradulations.

 

[sciteacher]

Certainly looks like it!

 

[RhacHouse]

She's a real pig with the dubias so I wasn't sure if it was just a full belly or eggs. Its now been almost two weeks and shes still huge, so she must be gravid.

such a great little gecko species

 

[RhacHouse]

They sure are, tons of character.

Well she laid one egg last night. She looks like she still has the other inside her, hopefully she'll lay it tonight. Its a perfect egg, she laid it in the calcium dish though, that's the bright white stuff you see on it.

Its small... but compared to mama its huge! I sure hope it hatches!

 

[RhacHouse]

Found the second egg this morning!!!! :cheer: It was in the calcium dish too. Hopefully they're good.

Congrats. The hatchlings are so small, it's a bit nerve wracking to keep them fed (at least for me). I'm keeping them in containers with springtails and fruit flies, but haven't actually witnessed a feeding yet.

The young of Paroedura, do best on Woodlice, Pinhead crickets, Firebrats, etc. They will eat fruitflies as a last resort, but they are really not so fond of them. Never seen em touch a springtail.

Oh one more thing, do not ever be alarmed if the females even lay 2 days apart.

 

[Rhacodactyl]

Thanks for the excellent advice Maureen. I found tiny little poops, so I know they were eating now, but crickets definitely got a big reaction right off the bat.

Cute little tykes! The one in the top pic, looks like it could use a little more food (tail is less fat), andros that have nice fat tails are happy healthy andros. From the pics looks like you will have a little boy and girl, at least from what I have observed, males have tight, closer together patterns while the females have more gaps in the pattern.
Though they will go after the bigger crickets, you should try ones that are a little bit smaller or they could choke or break their jaws.

Thanks! Wow beautiful babies!! So pinhead crickets are not going to work so well?

Any info on gestation period and incubation time and temps. I assume it pretty close to other pictus. My eggs are definitely good, got em cookin at about 80*, can't wait!

Paul, I'm keeping mine around 84 and they're hatching after just 40 days or so. It's hard for me to get very small crickets, but mine is taking fruit flies and hatchling mealworms pretty enthusiastically now. I've also added some bean beetles, but haven't witnessed any feeding on them yet so can't say whether or not they're being eaten yet.

Pinheads are fine, it is Fruitflies they tend to not like.

 

[RhacHouse]

Thank you, just got my second clutch today, 20 days apart.

Hi,

it seems to be a little bit too humid in your tanks... The soil of the offspring photo above is wet and you may find the eggs in the calcium cup because it's the only dry place in the terrarium ?!

Just wanna mention that, no offence!
Cheers

[RhacHouse]

Sacha,
None taken those baby photos are not mine though, I think your confusing my post with Rhacodactyls. I keep my geckos on paper towels.

 

[SHzac]

You are right, I ment Rhacodactyls post
sorry

 

[Rhacodactyl]

The soil/sand mix is not wet and I don't keep the hatchlings with the adults-no issues with them placing their eggs yet.
