Hi Everyone, Tonight I read an interesting article in Dactylus, vol 1, #1 by Carl Lerner about the smaller species of Phelsuma. Carl found that by using small jars (those baby food jars or larger) filled with loosely packed sphagnum moss topped with say a TP roll that he could predict the location of Phelsuma eggs (within the jar or on the TP roll). He also reported that eggs laid in the moss or on the TP roll were fertile about 90% of the time. At the time of writing he had not had success with Phelsuma barbouri cooperation.
Although this practice is not aesthetically pleasing, the jar can be camouflaged. The practicality of Carl's suggestions are definitely worth a go. Now have any of you Phelsuma breeders out there tried this with P klemmeri or had success with other species? Lepidodactylus lugubris will lay their eggs just about anywhere. One of their favorite sites are tic-tac boxes! -- Yippee, it's summer...enjoy!
