So after talking with Michael and hearing things from other breeders, chahoua trios seem to work out if all the geckos get along. I plan on experimenting with this idea next season. I have a really nice male that would pair up nicely with 2 of my females. I had initially thought about just...

A little off topic, but does your substrate stay quite damp with it being 4-5" deep? Mine dries out pretty quick, wondering if I should add more to hold moisture longer and up the humidity.

This was a great read! Very interesting!

Do any of you notice your chahoua digging a few days in advance, checking for the right spot to lay, or do they just end up laying them out of nowhere?

I just watched that last night! Lol

As you can see on the walls next to her, there is juice/water from the pinky from her violently thrashing it around. It got pretty loud.

Maybe my chahoua are just little shits lol

I have absolutely no evidence to back this up, but my theory is that maybe they prefer live prey over dead prey. Maybe they can taste something in the pinkies or can tell that they are not alive or fresh and they dont like it? I will try to post a picture of how close that female was to...

So it is more likely that PI and Mainland locales would embody M. chahoua as a whole and then M. Jalu would be a sub-species because there is recognizable genetic differences?

Tried to feed my breeder female a pinky tonight, just to see if maybe there was a chance that she would take it. She did! For like 4 minutes. She would thrash it around, banging it into the walls of her enclosure. She had half of it in her mouth and all she had to do was swallow it (that's what...

I have not done as much research as you or some of the others have so correct me if I am wrong. I do recall when I was doing research on M. Jalu there were things like the pores and I think the locations where they were found that strongly suggested that they could actually be what has been...

I have 2 small holes in the top of my container and at least 1-1/4" of the hatchright. It didn't start to dry completely. The hatchright wasn't turning colors like it was dry, but you could tell it didn't seem as wet as it did almost 3 months ago.

Love this idea! Let the games begin!

That chahoua in the picture you shared is gorgeous! It looks very similar to some of the High White "PI" chahoua that are in the hobby.

I wish we had a good chahoua book to utilize. There was something about the number of pores, Bonnie. I think that was in relation to Jalu. I think it was Mainland or PI had 5 rows and Jalu had 3 rows? That was how you could supposedly tell the difference. I may be wrong. It could be the other...

Thanks for jumping into the conversation Michael. The reason I started this thread was because of the tail regeneration talk on Facebook. I know this has been a topic that has been beat to death over the years and lots of people are probably sick of talking about it. That first picture you...

I have something very similar that I got from Gotham Geckos. You can get it in different flavors. I got the mango flavor. Haven't used it much, but a little goes a looooong way.

What does everyone prefer to use as their incubation media? Vermiculite, hatchright, other things? Also, how many of you bury your eggs directly into the media, and how many of you keep your eggs out of contact with the media using some sort of tray/egg holder? Sidenote: This is actually the...

I know this is a highly debatable topic and I am opening pandoras box by bringing it up, but here it is. At this point in time, with no paperwork proving that a chahoua is either 100% mainland or 100% PI, does it make sense to keep selling them as such? I know there are some members here that...

Being that I am only on my 2nd breeding season with Chahoua and don't have much experience, I can only share what I have seen so far. My oldest female has laid differently everytime she laid. 1st infertile clutch was in a back corner. 1st fertile clutch was inside a cork round that she dug...
