Thaks, do you breed mediterraneans? If so, could you send me some hatchling pics?

1 month till they hatch

I have but I have no pictures of hatchlings. They basicly look like a mini-adult though just smaller.

How do i tell the male from female with these shy guys?

to tell the truth , I can not really tell very well. I just keep all of my adults in a 30 gallon tall and can properly sex them if they have eggs. I know it is said that male geckos do not get along but I find mediterraneans a-lot more tolerant of the same sex. Of course some of mine are wc because i am trying to start a breeding project.

26 days (hopefully)

hello,
I would incubate them in a semi-moist environment, between 80-90 deg. The ones i had hatch out where about 1 and 1/2 inches, and looked like minature adults. I fed the babies small to medium sized mealworms and they seemed to like them, im sure small(1/4in or smaller) crix would be appropirate also. It would be a good idea to mist a side of the cage daily, because i think babies need higher humidity. I would make sure to dust your food items with a bit of calcium to help your geckos growth. Best of luck!

Cool. how big were your eggs to hatch out 1.5 in? My eggs are only 3/4 of an inch. And, how large of containers do you keep pairs in? I want to separate them in case of unseen egg clutches.

Mine have a big grassy area they stay in most of the time, i assume if they layed eggs they would lay them here.
Is there any chance of them hatching by themselves since the cage temp is around 84 degrees?

maybe, but it is unlikely from my experience. I did that once and the other geckos in the cae broke the eggs and ate the fluids out of them. LOL. Maybe I you will get lucky.
