Breeding of Day Geckos

LizardMan519 Jan 12, 2004 07:45 PM

Could anyone tell me what they know on what I do with the fertel eggs of my giant day geckos. Could you tell me what to do and any information on their breeding habits.

Thanks.

P. mad grandis eggs do hatch under almost any condition unless you cook them, freeze them , shake them vigorously or use very high humidity.

Sorry, I just wanted to say that incubation is easy: Just take a small box half filled with gravel (do not use vermiculite) . Put a few ml of water in and incubate preferably in the low 80s.
Higher temps promote development of males. lower temps lead to more females. Turning grandis eggs is hardlyx ever detrimental.
Females normally do produce one clutch per month between April and october but some speciemsn do lay year round. Of course good Ca supplementation is a must. Just dusting insects does not suffice, you have to offer bird grit or crushed sepia shell in addition.
