Congrats on the new additions! Yep, you can expect at least a 100% price increase from market price to retail.

Check out the HOWTO Forum at the lower end of this page. It has many useful pages on how to post pics, etc. ;)

Congrats on the new additions! May I ask who you got them from? And yes, they do have a price increase!

Yeah price difference is insane. I will never again buy from pet stores for many reasons, price being one but not the major issue. The Kenyon sand boa at the pet store i visit is only 60 and its at a ft long so I guess thats not too bad of a buy. But theres 3" beardies there (showing nice color for their size) but there's 3 differents morphs of beardies in a 10 gallon tank on calcium sand and small lid of water really sickening honestly. On top of that she wants 90 a piece, but i really dont think they'll make it if their there too much longer, which is why i wish pet stores would lower their prices so people like me and others could afford to take some of these animals and give them a good chance at surviving. It may be cruel but I'd rather spend less on a nicer reptile from a known breeder thats why I venture to reptile shows.

anyways im done flamming pet stores everyone knows the shows are better most of the time, congrats on your geckos, im hoping to get some soon just none with sticky feet my girlfriends already got those covered, waiting till sept 12 in white plains :D.

I'd really like to see the pics as well.

You can put crickets in with them if you wish but I would feed them every other day rather than everyday. The geckos you have are aggressive; both as eaters and as finger biters. Mine have been known to bite each other. They will eat almost all insect prey. After you post some pics I can tell you if you have Bibron's geckos (Pachydactylus bibronii) or Turner's geckos (Pachydactylus turneri). Bibrons geckos are pretty much unheard of in the trade and almost every Bibron's gecko in captivity is really a Turner's gecko. Turner's care is identical to Bibron's care except that Bibron's like a little more humidity.

Good luck with them. They are EXTREMELY easy to breed and assuming they were old enough for your vendor to sex, you could have eggs as soon as November. The males "chirp" to the females during courting. For me, this occurs between 7 and 8 pm.

With eggs, you don't even have to incubate them. You just need a dark shoebox and a quiet shelf. It takes longer but the outcome is the same ;)

Yup, sounds like you got them from Gollums Geckos. I was talking to them. He breeds them and yah he did have a lot!!!!
