FIRST CRESTED GECKOS HATCHED!!!!!!!!!!!

crested12 Feb 04, 2004 07:21 PM

So I opened the rubbermaid container to check on my eggs and i found theese 2 little guys sitting there yesterday! I had them incubating at 79 degreed and it took just over sixty days!
I want to thank everyone here that replies to posts in this forum because i learned some valuable info here. on incubation and proper care! thanks again and i hope you enjoy the pics!

P.S. the care is basically the same for hatchlings correct? except relatively higher humidity (peat moss in one corner, and nightly spraying) and babyfood and appropraitely sized crickets for food. THanks!

Hey, congrats...It's like x-mas isn't it?...lol. The care is like the adults, just feed more often. I keep the humidity up in the critter keepers by placing a moist papertowel over the top fo the first couple weeks. If they are going to have a shed problem, it will happen in this time frame.

I just wanted to say congratulations on the new hatchlings you had. Good job on the incubation. Keep the fourm updated. Let us know if they are males or females.
