Xanthic Pictus Hatchling

gretzkyrh4 Jun 14, 2008 10:31 AM

Just thought I'd post a pic of a young xanthic pictus I hatched out about 10 days ago. His clutchmate unfortunately didn't make it, but I have a few more cooking currently.

Sorry for the poor pic (good camera took a dip in the river recently)

Congrats :D

I also have some of these lil beauties.

Watch the humidity with the eggs, as it can be a somewhat small margin of error.

Good luck!

Thanks. Nice looking geckos you have their as well. What humidity level do you incubate at? I just hatched out one more this morning, but lost a few others due to incubating a pair of leo eggs in the same deli cup while moving. Needless to say, the leos hatched before I moved them and managed to roll a few of the pictus eggs before I got home from work. Females are still producing though, so hopefully I'll get a few more xanthic and normal babies before the year is through.
