House Geckos to Pinkies?

viper8red Jun 12, 2009 08:01 PM

How do I get Candoia Aspera to go from eating house geckos to pinkies/fuzzies. Is there some trick for this?

Thanks

the trick is to starve them for 3 or 4 weeks....no geckos, no handling, no touching...just leave them alone...then try a live pinkie scented with gecko blood or skin...good luck, jc

I feed geckos to C bibroni bibroni and once they are busy swallowing the gecko I sneak a chicken heart up under it's tail and they just keep on swallowin'..... might work with pinkies.
