Peacock Day Geckos
Bought this pair not long ago, haven't gotten around to posting pictures yet.
Male:
Female:
Their enclosure still needs some work. I have another dwarf schefflera and a bromeliad that are going to go in, and I plan to add some small bamboo palms as well, once they are available. Plus the usual bamboo stalks/cork bark.
This picture is a little misleading. Female is on top here.
The female evidently came to me already gravid. Unfortunately the female laid the eggs where the door meets the wall, and I did not see them before I opened the door.

Re: Peacock Day Geckos
Very nice pair you have there. I am planning for some klemmeri eventually...(not anytime soon).
Sorry about the eggs, if you put bamboo tubes in their, there is a 99% chance they will lay them in the tubes and you can simply remove the tube and incubate the eggs inside the bamboo. Removing them from the surface where they end up sticking them is difficult haha

Re: Peacock Day Geckos
Yes, I plan to add bamboo, as well as cork in case they prefer that. I actually plan to remove the eggs from the surface they are laid on if I can reach them, P. quadriocellata are a non-gluing species.

Re: Peacock Day Geckos
Gorgeous critters!
Been a while since I researched their care. Can they be simply fed the Repashy diet like cresties?

They can, but the general consensus is that they do much better when fed a variety of foods. I feed small inverts as well, and they love them too much for me to ever consider only feeding Repashy. They downed around 200 pinhead crickets in a single sitting the other day.

Woops, my mistake haha. EIther way I'm sure they will enjoy it. Non-glueing is a huge benefit too.

Re: Peacock Day Geckos
I am not using drainage, so we will see how it turns out... As long as I don't overwater, it should be fine. The substrate has a base layer of organic landscaping mix, which is what the plants are rooted in. That is then covered with a layer of coconut fiber with some moss and leaves to make it look nice.

Re: Peacock Day Geckos
What kind of water are you using? (I would recommend RO, distilled, or rain water. Tap water tends to lead to mineral buildup in short order.)
