A Christmas Miracle! (LOL)

[War Machine]

Well, I was doing my rounds feeding my monsters, and I got to the williamsi tank.

Open the door, did my evening misting, replaced their DGD, and put in about 30 1/4's. Closed it and went about my ways.

Wife says

"JAY! is that a baby?!"
What? no way, we're no where near hatch date
"yes thats a baby!"
holy crap it is!

This little guy was stuck on the front door, I didn't even notice it when I opened it LOL. So she has layed MORE then the 2 eggs I've found. And it/they hatched successfully.

I am caught so off guard, my raise up cube is in storage! and I cant get it till wednesday! So I rigged this up to keep inside the adult enclosure (with a screen lid)



Here is the little slugger, he is MUCH smaller then I was expecting, and I am panicking hoping I can keep it alive lol





it looks FRESH out of the egg. I will keep you guys updated! I have a little "*****" of a gecko :P

[War Machine]

Two more, he is just so tiny and cute





I wonder if that cup is too big for him?

To be fair,

All I did was set up two geckos properly, and it was easy. Nature took its course.

Keeping it alive, and raising it, that is where the hard work will come into account im sure.

lets hope it wont be so hard and you wont have many issues with this cutie. I suppose its too soon to tell the sex?

yeah, at 4-5 months they will be able to sex. If it turns blue, male, stays green, female lol

What will you do with the males? Id love to have one of these guys but I dunno if they are under CITES

[War Machine]

I'm not sure of the legality with this specie, but I know they are close to (if not) endangerment.

I'm honestly on the fence. I will either

A: Build a second identical tank for another breeding pair 1.1
or
B: Sell of males, attain a second female, and sell all offspring after that.

With them being so rare Id keep all i could breed at least for a while you never know, you might lose your male :/

With the setup they're in, I'd be hard pressed to kill off the adults. The only thing with keeping them all, is males cannot house together.

I'm leaning to building another tank, for another breeding pair, and potentially, having two trios.
