    Egg calcification issue

    I do agree with Canvas geckos, your female is a bit young for breeding. This species, it is recommended to allow females to reach 3 years of age, to ensure the are done growing. This way their body uses the calcium for growth purposes, not for egg laying. I am glad to hear you are offering UVB...

    1 fertil?

    Chahouas are not prolific breeders, and it isn't uncommon for a single egg to not be fertile. It happens in many other species, esp virgin females, but it can happen to proven females also. Chahoua do have a spermatheca, which is the organ that retains sperm. There are several breeders out there...

    What should a terrarium for a chahoua look like?

    Honestly, cork bark and branches. Plants are less important with this species since they inhabit tree hallows in the wild. So cork bark flats, rounds, and cross branches work best for them. Chahouas also do better with additional heat, you will often find them basking under a heat source. UVB is...

    Lineage and selective breeding

    I’m a firm believer color > collar. For me an animal with a big white collar is nice, but if that’s all it is bringing to the table, it’s bland. I want to see color, contrast, unique pattern, these are what is important to me. I feel often many breeders focus in the high white because let’s...

    Jalu vs. Chahoua, PI vs. GT, or are they all just "Mniarogekkos"?

    I think it stems from people see the higher price tag and just assume they are the prettier locale, and couple it with poor keeping and breeding practices years ago caused them to have under bites and more buggy eyes. @Gray Sky Exotics produces some of the most vibrant GT out there, no way to...
