I had two eggs in the incubator. One of the Gold Dust hatched out fine and the other did not hatch for 3 days. I decided to go ahead and open the egg. There was a set of twins in the egg both attatched to the same yolk. Unfortunatly, they were not alive. Just thought it was really cool.

sorry about the twins i have a set of gold dust eggs at about 30 days now i dont have high hopes for them but they are still white and show no signs of rot ill have to wait and see, how long did yours take to hatch. i had a young pair and the male passed away do you know of anyone with a adult male golddust for sale?

thanks tim

I have several sub-adults that I have not sexed yet. I'll take a look and let you know if one is a male.

i have around ten sub adult/adults from 1-2 years ago that i hatched myself. I am trying to thin out my collection of gold dusts as well.

finaly after 58 days one of my two golddust eggs hatched this morning had one hatch out last sunday but it didnt make it. will post a pic or two tomorrow when will it be looking to eat what is the best diet for hatchlings?

thanks tim

mist it daily. after a couple days put a drop of baby food in there with it. it depends on how much of the yolk sac they have absorbed. sometimes they dont fully absorb the whole thing and will consequently have to eat sooner. when it comes to baby geckos, the enclosure is the most important part when it comes to feeding. there is no bowl/dish that will contain insects that small. there enclosure has to be small and simple while being housed seperately. you shouldnt use any kind of bedding while they are young and just a few small climbing sticks will do. this helps keep track of how much they are eating. i fed all of my babies lobster roaches and super worms, that i bred myself. i didnt use crickets until i had like 17 baby gold dusts. crickets are fine and so are fuit flies, (hydea)sp? are the larger fruit flies.
