Cute little gecko hatchings

[acpart]

In the interest of getting things going again, here a picture of my 2 Coleonyx elegans hatchlings that hatched 4/13. Ask some questions if you want to know more:

I think the Forum's a lost cause. There just doesn't seem to be an interest. But I'll keep coming on every morning to make sure the spam stays gone!

The little guys are so cute! What is the incubation time period?

 

[acpart]

It depends on the incubation temperature. I don't think these guys are temperature sexed, but I put the eggs in with my leopard gecko female incubating eggs at 82F and they usually hatch in about 9 weeks.

Very nice.
But i'm no good at asking questions.
Sorry.

Newbie here, sorry if I ask a stupid question here. So what kind of species is that? Yes I know it's gecko, maybe it got some special name related to its awesome skin tone and colour.

These are Coleonyx elegans. Unfortunately they don't keep that lovely red color. As adults they are yellow and brownish.

They are awfully pretty as babies!

That's what attracted me to them at first. I was pretty disappointed to find that the coloring was just the juvenile phase. They were fun geckos. I don't have any now, but I do have good memories.
