TX Banded Gecko Eggs Are Here

Chris_McMartin Feb 28, 2009 02:16 PM

Roughly 3 weeks ago I SUSPECT one of my pairs mated (and the others must've mated before that, because I found eggs in their box a few days after). Well, the female had been digging exploratory nest sites in the box I provided, but then went ahead and laid in her hide box, where the humidity was higher, either last night or this morning (I found her in the box with the eggs a few hours ago).

Pictures don't do the geckos justice--they're more for my record-keeping than to show off (they're sitting on graph paper which helps me measure them using the SerpWidgets program):

Female, from the Black Gap area

Male, very colorful individual from South Texas (not quite the Rio Grande Valley, but close)

Eggs after moving them from the hide box to an incubation cup (the "dirt" is coconut fiber from the hide box).
