My first Gecko hatchlings!
5 Attachment(s)
I started breeding Crested Geckos late last year, & now have four babies from that pairing.
They incubated for a long time, which I've heard has been kind of common as of lately, my guess is that it is from late in the season breeding. I would have two more babies, but I missed the first pair of eggs, & they dried out. :( The babies hatched in this order: KAI-12-03-hatched December 9 at 112 days (likely a holdback) KAI-12-04-hatched December 11 at 114 days KAI-12-06-hatched January 24 at 128 days (likely a holdback) KAI-12-05-hatched January 26 at 130 days (has not shed yet) *The last picture is of KAI-03 (the first one to hatch) & KAI-05 (the last one to hatch) |
So adorable!!

Thanks! They're a fun species to have. They're incredibly cute as babies, great to watch grow up & see how they change, & they're fun as adults.

Wow! Took them a long time but their crests sure benefitted from the long time cooking!

Two of the babies have found homes (KAI04 & KAI05) I am holding onto KAI03 & KAI06 to see how they turn out. I have 6 eggs cooking right now, from another pairing. The oldest eggs are at day 91 today, so hopefully soon. The female should be laying another set of eggs any day now. I'll post a thread when the first of that pairing hatches. Here's recent pix of KAI03 & KAI06 |
Looking good. I can't get mine to incubate for longer than 77 days, seems like 85-95 or thereabouts is ideal for big hatchlings with good structure. Need to get some new pictures of my one crested hold back.

I keep them at room temp. |
I keep them at room temp generally in the reptile room which is kept between 70-76. Did try incubating a few in a colder part of the house once but they never developed beyond a cheerio, don't know if it was a problem with the eggs or if it was too cold, so I stopped trying.
