    I picked up a mated pair of Geckos, nothing special but thought I would share some pix. They are Leopard Geckos, don't have much for a leopard pattern but fun to watch regardless. Will get a couple vids later, they are cute to watch at feeding time, they love their crickets lol.

    Well I was wondering why my female hasn't ate in a couple days and wasn't staying in a cave as they usually do. TO my surprise, I got the answers to those questions today---



    Luckily I received a DIY incubator with them when I got them. Now I have to research how to properly incubate them. Any tips or suggestions will be much appreciated. Hopefully I will have better luck with these, than I have with my rams lol here is a pic of the incubator I got with it, hopefully it works. I have a heat mat that connects to the bottom and I presume I will have to put a light on the top as well.

    Very cool. I've always liked lizards, but the sound of crickets would drive me crazy.

    I believe you need a lot of humidity but do some reading. One of our family members had. Bearded dragon eggs. Took a long time to hatch and only two hatched. They were so tiny and cute.

    Unfortunately, since this happened so quickly and unexpectedly the eggs didn't make it. But luckily they are in the midst of their breeding season & can lay 8-10 pairs of eggs from what I have read. So hopefully the next pair will have a better chance since I have been doing alot of research. Turns out they laid about 8 pairs last year with no success. My guess is the diy incubator was the reason. I have found a few different ways to go about it now, so hopefully I will be successful with the next pair.

    Thanks Ming, was quite the surprise, even more so when I found a 2nd egg in the cave lol but unfortunately they didn't make it. On the bright side I can expect more & I will be more knowledgeable & prepared next time.

    thanks Daniel .....the crickets are rather loud , 25 in a container sounded like a cricket sanctuary in my living room the other night lol

    Thanks for the info April , apparently humidity is the more important factor. Been doing some extensive research so hopefully I can get it right in the future. Looking forward to seeing some baby geckos. Takes about 60 days to hatch but hopefully will be worth the wait.
