DAS ZWERGGECKO-FORUM

Mein erster Paar williamsi, legte immer braf die Eier ab in ein Bambusrohr...
Wir holhlten dann das Einsatzstückchen daraus und hopp... Eier ins Inkubator. (Sehe auch mein andere bericht uber die williamsi)

Das hatten wir schon 8x gemacht.. ohne Problem.

Frau williamsi hat das sicherlich nicht hübsch gefunden, weil sie gesternabend das folgende getan hat:

Zuerst ist sie zwischen die wand und die Hintergrund gekrochen..


Da hat sie es sichtbar schwer gehabt...


Und sie hat ein unlöschbar Eierproblem hergestellt..
Vielleicht mit die Gedanke Ïch meine Eier nicht... Du auch nicht..

Ach...

Ich hatte für eine Test, meine Seite durchgeschaltet nach meine andere Seite.
Dort waren die Bilder selbstverständlich nicht zu finden.

Es sollte nun wieder Ok sein..

Entschuldigung bitte.

Ja!
Nun ist alles bestens und die Bilder sind super!
PS: Das war garantiert Absicht !

My picturatus female does it always... And my female of Phelsuma madagascariensis put first two clutches behind a bark in the top of the terrarium - and as she leaved the place, the eggs fell down and broke

Kimhowellis use holes in bambus, but the last eggs were in bambus, which is not possible to move out from the terarium. Yesterday, two babies emerged in terarium and their parents did not do anything with them. It is interesting because everybody tells you that the parents can harm babies in Lygodactylus...

But it is that I love on my geckos - they can always surprise me!

Greetings,
Petr from Czech Rep.

Meine letzte kimhowelli Eier werden auch in einem Loch in die Hinterwand gelegd..
Hab darin noch kein feste Patron gefunden.

Dann in eine Pflanze, dann wieder in ein Bambusrohr...

Halt doch die Spannung drin..

Hallo!
Meine Lygodactylus williamsi legen bis jetzt immer an die gleiche Stelle. Die Eier werden jeweils in Knöterichstängel geklebt, aus denen man die Eier wunderbar herausschneiden kann und in den Inkubator überführen. Aber vielleicht lassen sie sich ja auch mal was Neues einfallen?!
@ Petr: a friend who keeps Lygodactylus kimhowelli told me, that he leaves the eggs in the terrarium and catches the juveniles out of it. But sometimes he found some of them without a tail or even no animal.. Perhaps it depends on the character of the gecko: My breedings pair is very agressive - i wouldn´t try to leave the eggs in there

Viele Grüße

Es ist bisher bekannt, das die Eltern, die Jungtiere meistens auffressen!

Und vielleicht hab ich im Kurze noch sehr schöne Bilder....

@ Dendrophel: one of the babies did not have tail
But I have in my terrarium a pair of kimhowelli and a pair of picturatus together. I tried it two months ago and all four geckos seem to be in very good condition. It supports my opinion that they are a little bit social and like to be in bigger groups than only in pairs. I haven't tried keeping of them with species Phelsuma, maybe next year but have read that it is possible. Interesting geckos, I like them

Well I have 1 tank with in total more than 30 Lygodactylus in different species. (kimhowelli, picturatus, williamsi and capensis)
There are some incidents between males, but those are mostly a bit like the monkeyfights about the reign of the realm. I have not seen any casualties till now. (This situation is ongoing for 3 months now)
The most significant difference between keeping Lygodactulus as a pair, as most of mine, is, that allthough I have seen a lot of mating, there were no eggs (yet).
This situation could be debet to four things.

1: They lay no egges anymore
2: They lay eggs very hidden and the young are eaten instantly
3: They lay eggs, but those are eaten by others
4: I'm not looking and searching very good..

Controlfreak as I am, I prefer to keep the pairs separated and with a bit of luck, incubate the eggs under optimal circumstances.

Until now, this brought the most succes.

L. williamsi 27 eggs from 3 pairs (15y/14 survived and 10 incubating, 2 infertile)
L. picturatus more than 50 eggs from 11 pairs (30 y and counting)
L. kimhowelli 9 eggs from 1 pair (6 y 3 infertile)
L. capensis pakenhami (3 pairs and nothing at all this year, not even a trace of an egg...pffff)
L. capensis are not paired yet because lack of tanks.

Very interesting... I have in both Lygodactylus species 100% of eggs fertilized and 100% of hatchlings (1 pair kimhowelli - this year 10 juveniles and 2 eggs still waiting...; 1 pair picturatus - 4 juveniles). I'll see how it will look like next year, when they will have the larger tank together. If it does not work well I can separate them anytime.

I have in all tanks short bamboo sticks (about 8-10 cm) with the hole of a diameter a little bigger than that of the body of the gecko and the geckos lay eggs nearlly only to these bamboo sticks. Similar in Phelsumae - only nigristriata female lays eggs to Ficus pumilla. ButI have the terraria very simple to find the eggs, not so "beautiful" as many other colleagues (you can see that at: http://daygecko.borec.cz, in Czech but there are many pictures).
