I'm not that huge a gexer, so I don't have that many to list. I just want to
give a strong vote to Rhacodactylus ciliatus, the New Caledonian Crested
Gecko

cats that love watching the geckos, and I doubt that's much different. You

Actually it would be pretty ricky to put the two males together as they

I would think that a basin of water placed inside the incubator but away
from the eggs would help a lot. If the humidity were still too low, maybe a
fine misting of the inside as often as necessary? I've never done thing.

the same spot come morning. What concerns me more is the mold and the

That's cool... After my friend worked with UPS to try to figure out what had

trouble finding out just how to do that when I first started, so I'll give
you a little info. I use a mini-Maglite flashlight, narrow the beam to a

I don't know how new you are to geckos or if you're one of the oldsters on
this list. I've found that my young rhacs barely eat enough of anything to
make a dent, but I can tell they've been eating by the cute little poopers
they leave around the tank. And I've not had any trouble at

Rhacodactylus ciliatus was my first (and so far, only) gecko. I bought a
pair of juveniles at a reptile show a little over two years ago to give to
my girlfriend as a Christmas gift that year. A year later, when she decided
she couldn't take care of them properly anymore, she gave them back
I've used vinegar quite a bit, as well. I wouldn't recommend skipping the
final rinse... have you ever stuck your face in a container of vinegar and
taken a big whiff? That'll burn your nose a little. But yeah, it should be
completely safe and it does a great job dissolving all those
With the crested gecko diet, I've found that I have to use just slightly
less than a 2:1 ratio of water to food. If I do 2 parts water to 1 part
food by volume (say, 1 level teaspoon of water to 1/2 level teaspoon of
food), the mixture is slightly too runny. If, however, I use, say, a

Thanks a ton, and if anyone thinks of anything else to say, I'm all ears!

Anyway, anyone else ever experienced this? I got them out of the cage less
than 24 hours after they were laid, and they weren't dried out or
dessicated. Thanks!
