I though I would let you guys know how the baby skunk geckos (white lined gecko) were doing. They were both born in Decmember and are now 4-5+ inches long with there tail. They both in a Advanced Reptile Habitat, the cages with the two doors that open up from the front. And they both eat 6 mealworms each night.

Here are a couple pics.

Thanks

They look awesome Kevin!

I have to tell ya a short story about my experience with white lines/skunk geckos. I worked in a pet store for nearly two years and other than a couple gold dust day geckos, the white lines were the only ones that got away from me. Luckily I was able to catch them, but before I did, they climbed the side of the tank, leapt up over my shoulder, landed on my back and ran down to the floor, sending a bunch of customers in all different directions! Great geckos, but hard to hold onto! Have you been able to handle these young ones?

Congrats on producing some great looking geckos!

Thanks, there very nice geckos, I am proud of them

Actually I took those pics today and once I took it, one jumped out, and all I did, like every time a fast lizard escapes is, pull of my shirt through it ontop of the lizard and bring it back to it's cage. It is way easier to catch a fast lizard with a shirt then your hands, and it minimizes stress.

HAHA I might have to use that tactic if my Tokays ever get out!! They are very fast!! (was funny watching one doing a brakestand trying to get up the glass when I was cleaning the tank)

Yah it's a very good method, I actually had a female tokay escape on the weekend and this method worked
