Stacy,
I would be interested in seeing your picture. This year I only bred one
female and I'm not sure if they were larger but the first two eggs did
produce stronger, healthier babies. There must have been something lacking
in her diet that made subsequent eggs less strong. I plan to breed Agamura
again this coming year and will try to increase quantity and quality of what
I feed her.
I also noted the Reptiles magazine article on Geckonia mentioned on this
list a few days ago. You had wonderful success with them this year. How
many generations have you bred and have you noted any problems with young
Geckonia mortality as reported by the author? I will be breeding them for
the first time. I don't remember Jon indicating any real problems and I'm
sure he's bred them for several generations.
Thanks,
Jim
