Lovely, manu! Can I send my shipping address to you right away? ;-)
Is this your first Cpz hatchling?
How many days did it take to hatch?

How about posting pictures of #2 right on this thread when he/she hatches? I would love that too :banana:.

Hello Manu, thank very much for sharing this! And congrats! The first one is always the most exciting! It's nice to know about others working with this species! I will be posting pics of my 2012/'13 c.b. pegu's sometime soon. I've got three C. peguensis eggs incubating currently. It's interesting that you hatch them around 100 days. I know others have gotten them to hatch out around 90-100 days. My hatch times take a bit longer than that. I keep mine on a shelf in my basement. Average hatch times are 125 days-fall babies-Oct/Nov-145 days-winter babies-Feb. Your baby is a banded pinstripe! Looks like a minature version of my 12 year old adult male. Good luck with the other egg!

Hi Manu, sorry for the delay in response. My incubation temps with my Cyrto's is 74-77 degrees. Yes I do work with other Cyrtodactylus....Pulchellus, papilionoides, and soon one of my consubrinus females will be ready to breed! I am going to attach some pegu pics tonight! Got to get it all figured out first.

Saw that mold is sometimes a problem with Cpz eggs, that they can be a bit finicky. Have you monitored the humidity near the eggs at all?

Yes, I don't notice anything too high at all. At first I was keeping them on dry coco fiber and it worked some of the time, but as you know organic materials that come from a plant can absorb moisture through the air. So I have moved all of them onto dry hatchright I think that's the name? It's red bebble rocks kinda has the soft appearance of pumis rock. But now I am thinking of moving them onto dry sand instead. Just to see if the mold issues go away. It seems most people have no issues with sand. Lately I've opened up moldy eggs to find no dead babies inside, so this time they were just unfertilzed. I have one cpz egg left that looks ok. Crossing my fingers!

Keeping my fingers crossed too for your last Cpz egg of 2013. Be sure to add a picture right on this thread :idea:.

Won't be the last C.p.z eggs of 2013, I am expecting more eggs from both females (the sisters). My friend gave me a exo-terra snake hiding cave, they make good egg laying chambers for geckos. So I am putting it to one of the gravid females enclosures. I'm thinking of getting more of them for other geckos in my collection.
