Hi everyone. I don't think I ever introduced myself here, but I'm Nellie and I have 28 lizards, one sulcata and one hermanns tortoise, one frog, and one 30 year old turtle, 2 dogs, 20 chickens, 3 ducks, 5 guinea hens, and one pet goose.
23 of the lizards are geckos, 12 crested geckos, 6 Leachianus geckos, 3 phelsuma grandis, one tokay gecko, and one Leopard gecko.
I just started breeding crested geckos this year, and will be pairing up my first Leachianus geckos in the spring, a pair of pure Nuu Ana leachies.
I just hatched out my first pair of crestie babies yesterday. Pictures of them and of their parents below.
I just want to make sure I'm on the right track with them.
I put them in large deli containers as their first enclosures, on paper towels with a little bit of moss, some fake foliage to hide in, a shallow water cup, and some pangea dabbed on the leaves so they hopefully find the food on their own. I'll move them into small shoebins once I can see that they are eating and pooping.
I've got humidity around 70% right now, temperature around 75-78F. I'll offer some crickets in a day or two. Both are shedding their skin.
Here are some pictures of the pair.
They had a 67 day incubation. I was really hoping they'd go longer, but I incubated at room temperature, which was probably averaging 78F, so I'm going to invest in an incubator with a cooling function since the reptile room gets pretty hot during the summer.
This clutch was a suprise. A female I purchased laid them only 2 weeks after she arrived. I also purchased the male she was paired with prior. Both are beautiful geckos, and their babies look completely different! I know they'll change as they grow, I'm excited to see how they turn out.
I just want to make sure I'm caring for them correctly. I figure I'll try and spoon feed them some mrp tomorrow and see if they're interested, then start feeding some dusted insects.
Anyway, here are the pictures, and I'll grab some pictures of the cups later.
