Thanks guys - the common name is Smooth prehensile tailed gecko or the other common name I call them is Sarasin's gecko.

The incubation was exactly how I incubate my cresties and gargoyles - 76 degrees on a perlite base and it took just over 70 days to hatch.

Scott - I've sold things in the past and really regretted it later including a royal which turned out to be het albino and a male classic corn which I bred with a female normal then sold - the babies came out classic, amel, snow and anery D'OH! I bred the female with other things a few times later but nothing like that ever appeared again lol!

Very very nice! Could you tell us more about how you got them to breed, or how you're keeping them?
thanks

I keep my pair of sarasins at temperatures of around 70 - 75 degrees. They are in a 4 foot high by 3 foot long by 18 inches wide vivarium, it is a fairly naturalistic viv with artificial plants, cork bark and branches and an egg laying box in the bottom. I do have a light in with them but it not a UV it is just to give a photoperiod of 12 hours a day.
I didn't do anything to get them to breed they just did it on their own! I think it was the introduction of the female to the male which did it as my male had been on his own for a while and then we introduced the female and within 3 - 4 months we had eggs.
I hope this helps? Any more questions just add them on here Very Happy

These guys are cool - and the baby is just so cute! I'd love to see a picture of their set-up.

Good luck with the littl'un!

i sometimes use a mix of perlite and verimulite, at a 50/50 ratio, we have pretty much equal success with both.

I will try and post some pictures of the viv as soon as I can.
