My geckos WERE preggers!
Edited on Thu Mar-16-06 12:08 AM by haruka3_2000
So tonight, being the good gecko parent that I am, brought home a bag of crickets and some superworms for my little monsters. Normally, the females are super aggressive eaters (to the point that I usually feed the male in their travel cage) but tonight they barely came out for food. When they did emerge they were both very skinny, whereas they were rather fat last I saw them. One also seemed really weak. So I checked their humid hide and sure enough, two little eggs were in there.

I set up an incubator for the eggs and hopefully, in 6-8 weeks, I will have some adorable little baby geckos. To put things in perspective, the eggs are only a little longer than a penny.



Edited for a stupid spelling error.

2. I definitely will! For now here's a picture of one of the moms...


That's Killer, back when she was pretty much a baby herself, about three years ago.
