Got your attention, huh? Lol! Well, we got some racks and more geckos from Eric. So now, we have gone from 5 to 11 geckos! We need to get a thermostat, which has been ordered, and a hova bator, then we will be on the road to our first breeding season! We are excited to see how this all works out and what kind of babies we get. I'll try to update this thread later this week with some pics of our new crew.

Well, we got the racks all cleaned up, set up, geckos in them, and all situated, and our bonus room rearranged! Yeay! Everyone seemed comfortable enough to eat well, and all but one gecko has been in a rack either most or all of it's life, anyways.

Brent is working on getting the Hova-Bator to the desired temperature when he's home, and it's almost there.

Both of our females that are ready to go are ovulating, so I think we'll have them in with the males by this weekend! Whoo hoo! Hopefully everyone is nice enough to each other, and we'll have some eggs soon! cheers

Of course I couldn't find my camera.. Pissed Off

So, I'll have to get pics of everything and everyone when I find it!

Hope all is going well with everyone else's projects!

Nice rack setup. Looks like a good place for baby snakes to me...mmm mmm, haha. Anyway, do you still have a place for a crested gecko? I actually have one that's older than a baby that I'm thinking of giving to you guys. If you want I can work on taming him down first.

Thanks, Dagan! There might be snakes in there one day, lol!

And yes, we still have a place for a crested.. do you see the tank you gave me on top of the hatchling rack? It is currently unoccupied. Smile

I have a sweet male gecko named Catapult. He fires up a very dark brown. His name comes from the way he likes to fling himself into space--though most cresteds do that, haha. Anyway, the babies aren't ready to go and couldn't live in a 10 gallon anyway, so I think Catapult would be a better option. He does need some handling to get tamed down, but he's never bitten me or anything like that. Just likes to jump!

Are you coming to the superbowl party at Rob and Gina's house after Rainforest Adventures?

No, we'll be heading back towards home and going to Brent's parent's house.

And we just had our first successful copulation!!!! YEAY! cheers

So pretty! Smile

I always liked Scorch.

Thanks! We love Scorch! He's an awesome gecko, and a good-looking guy! This is his first season breeding, so it'll be fun to see if he's het for anything. SHCTB (his morph) is one of my faves, so I wouldn't mind having a baby like him!
