Hemitheconyx caudicinctus (Fat-tail gecko)

Just wanted to share pics of a male I've raised from a hatchling. I find him him to be impressive looking.

He's a very pretty boy. I've always found gecko's eyes to look so feline and beautiful.

Gorgeous little fella. Looks identical to a female i had.

Thanks. I have a female which is alot lighter in color than him. Hopefully by the summer I can introduce him to her.

That would be cool. I could not get my female to eat anything at all. I had her about 6 months, and she ate 2 crickets in that time. I tried crickets, lats, lobsters, dubia, mealworms. She just acted completely uninterested. I kept her temps at 95 F, had 2 hides, 1 moist. She just wouldnt eat at all. I finally gave her to a fellow member, and they took her in to a reptile shelter they help out at, and had her eating like crazy in no time. She fattened back up, and is doing good. I still cant figure out why she wouldnt eat for me.

It happens at times with Fat tail geckos. You did everything right. I will take pics of my female when I get home. She's a little eating machine. Loves dubia nymphs

This is the little girl. In premolt right now. She's a shade lighter.

Hopefully, I can pair them up this summer and get pretty babies. The male has alot of white dots on his tail.
