nice one, they are so cute! My friend has steni's but the eggs don't hatch, they develop and die in the shell. may i ask how you incubated yours?

The Stenos are beautiful. What size do they typically grow to?

[darren.j.b]

could you tell me how you bred your elegant geckos and what kind of environment you keep them in. i just purchased a pair (trying to get two more females) and would like to breed them.

we keep the tropiocolotes in a large group (20 animals), i think that is why we were able to breed them. maybe the males/females are a bit picky
we've had 3 babies so far, 2 from tropio tripolitanus an 1 from steudneri.
the substrate we used is a mix from 25%mosspeat, 25%cocopeat, 50 calciumsubstrate/sand, in almost every desertviv, that we have, we always put in a moistbox, so the animals can choose what humidity they want.
we check the viv, about ones a week for eggs and cleaning, and if we find the eggs we put in a tub with dry vermic, but i an wet incubator, so it still gets a bit of airhumidity, don't let the eggs get wet!
i think the biggest problem of raising the babies, is feeding them, or you must also be alble to breed your own crickets, because the need hatchlings, because they are sooooooooo small
hope this is off any use to you
