Few more geckos

Here she was last night, you can barely see one of the eggs back there by her legs.

Hey Ryan what are you using to mark the eggs with? It looks like marker which is bad. It can kill the developing baby. When I started hatching chickens, pheasants, quail, ducks ect I was using marker to mark the eggs with. NOT ONE EGG HATCHED! Then I got online and talking to people, and everyone I talked to who used marker said they didn't get any to hatch either. But once we all switched to pencil, with everything else remaining the same we got very good hatches and I've only ever used pencil ever since with no problems.


I hope you get lucky and they still hatch, I've love to see some newly hatched babies.

It's a non toxic fine point pen and I am not really worried about it. A breeder near me that I have visited a few times marks all his eggs the same way and never has a problem. I am mimicking what he does and considering he cranks out about 300 babies a year I think it will be ok.

Very good, then I expect to see some hatchling pics in what about 2 1/2 -3 months?

 

[Talkenlate04]

From what I have read yes. My room is a little cool right now so it might be a bit longer but not much longer. I was really excited to candle them and see they were good!

 

[Talkenlate04]

Picked up a trio today! The male has awesome black and red spotting too!

 

[Thompson08]

Awesome! How much were they? And do all those have dalmation spots?

 

[Talkenlate04]

Yep all of them have spots.
They were a grand total of $75 dollars. Two females and one male. Here is the male on bottom in the photo above.

 

[Thompson08]

Very nice!

 

[Hamburglar]

Nice additions... the pet store here had one the size of a grasshopper for 69 dollars by itself.....

 

[Talkenlate04]

That same male,
Not fired up,

Fired up!

 

[Thompson08]

I have yet to see my male olive fired up

3 crested geckos for $75? and that was with shipping? Who you stealing them from? I paid $100 for both of mine, $49.99 each at petco.

 

[Talkenlate04]

3 for $75 and I picked them up from the shop. I just got two more from a breeder living near me. Just got home from getting them actually.

 

[Talkenlate04]

Two more

I think I have a slight addiction.

dude, I think you need gecko anonymous..

BTW sweet camera on your myspace page. What lens is that? I'm a bit of an amateur photographer and I use a Canon Digital Rebel XT. Scorpios Unite!1

 

[Talkenlate04]

New pinner lady!

And a small unsexed hatchling.

 

[Boanerges]

Hey Ryan, are the females darker then the males? Or are they lighter, or the same color :?

 

[Talkenlate04]

There is no set rule for that, that I know of. I have seen males be super light and super dark and same with females too.

man when i get to portland you are going to have to show me the best pet stores! i cant believe you found cresteds for $30. maybe i just have horrible petstores around me, but not even their chilean rosehairs are that cheap
