Hatching Lygodactylus Eggs

[Ozymandias]

I LOVE them!

They remind me of my viper geckos I had years ago. They were so awesome! Sadly, they're about impossible to find now, but I'd get them again in a second if I found some nearby.

I hear you. Viper geckos are really hard to find right now. Another member on here (LifelessForm) has about 6 females and has been trying to find a nice male for the last 2 years with no luck.

i've actually been keeping my eye's out for these guys too and i've seen them offered on fauna every once and a while but again not often and thay tend to be too expensive for me at the time.

and then we question why they are going extinct in the wild....
at least we can reintroduce them down the line.
how big do the adults get?

as vicious already pointed out the loss of these guys in the wild is more do to deforestation and loss of habitat more then cetaching them for pets. it's not just these guys ether it basically happening all over the place. if anything we as keepers will probably be the only ones to have some of these animals at some point.


btw: congrats alway nice to see some babies, i had the privilege of seeing one of my cresties hatch out yesterday and there is nothing quite like it.

they are so cool when they are that small. how many eggs do they lay at a time and how often?

 

[Vicious_Fish]

They usually lay a pair of eggs at a time every 4 weeks during the summer months.

That is the cutest thing ever! You've done a great job figuring out how to safely incubate them. I'm glad you shared your process (to help others) and your pictures (cute cute cute!).

Wowee, VF!! I love that whole process from the process of elimination through to the success.... any chance you could show the set up?

You just keep getting more and more awesome, don't ya
