Jim,
Thanks <blushing>. I agree with you, they are great geckos to keep. I, too,
have lost a couple of hatchlings in the past, but this year I had a different
problem....there were a couple of fully formed hatchlings that never emerged
from the eggs. In these cases the eggs were much smaller than others I had
incubating. I have one female who is laying much larger eggs than some of
the other females. Needless to say, the babies from the larger eggs are
bigger hatchlings and seem to do better. I had one baby, that upon hatching,
was larger than another one that was already almost 3 weeks old. If anyone
would like, I will see if I can get a pic of the incubating eggs
demonstrating the size difference.
