My Bibron's Geckos

[100yan]

Most of people find this species as 'boaring' compared to other geckos, because it is shy and not so colourful, but I found them amaizing.

These are some of my little 'dragons'

Youngsters:

A pair:

One of my females (my favourite) who produced more than 20 eggs this breeding season (from November till now) and 16 hatchlings so far:

And finally some hatchlings:

THEY'RE GORGOUS!!
All of them have such fat tails, mine must still have more growing to do.
I Really wanna breed these guys soon.

Are their eggs sticky?
Temps should be 82+?

It's hard to regulate the proper "Room temp" in my place, my house sits at 76-79 During the days and about 74+ at night.

This is great to incubate my crested eggs but would this be suitable for the turners?

Thank you in advance yan

Lee,
these geckos have solid (hard shell) eggs. Females lay clutches of 1 or 2 eggs and normally burrow them in the substrate of the terrarium. For this puropse, I use a box filled in with send and they always use it. I incubate the eggs between 26 and 29 C (79-84 F): you have higher probability to get females if the incubation temperature is near the lower temperature limit, and respectively - higher probability to get males at the other extremity of the temperature limit. As the eggs have hard shells, I incubate them in dry or almost dry perilite. I increase slightly the humidity just before the hatch of the babies, because in this way it is easier for them to shed for first time (it is an hour or two after they get out of the eggs).

Wish you success in breeding your Turner's geckos!

PS: I bought my first pair as Bibron's geckos (male and female I bought from two independent herpers), so I call them P. bibronii. However, I think they are P. turneri, because of the well presented relief of the thorns on their body

ILoveIt!
like a lot of the geckos i seem to keep, they have bad reputations, in the end i think it's just patience!=]
