Parthenogenic Species
Does anyone here have experience with any parthenogenic species of skinks or geckos? Just curious if anyone has kept any/produced babies.

Re: Parthenogenic Species
i have a good friend who has a colony of mourning geckos.
My friend took a trio of the babies but they didnt thrive (she should have had something easier/more hardy). Once the adults started reproducing, they really took off. The friend who has the colony has to cull some of the babies, she has so many now.
She feeds them just repashy and fruitflys.

Re: Parthenogenic Species
i *think* hers started reproducing at around 8 months, and the adults lay 2 eggs every 4-6 months...
She also said they will not reproduce if there is only one of them, they need the social interactions from other females in order to lay eggs.

Re: Parthenogenic Species
lol yup; you have to get the babies out and in a separate container pretty quick or the moms will eat them :P
I think the eggs are a bit bigger than a q-tip, and the babies fit very nicely on a dime (read: escapees!!). Her adults are about 4-6 inches long. The babies really need fruit flies to do well, and high humidity.
