    Growth Trends and Adult Sizes: PI vs GT Adults

    It's funny you mention that because over the last few weeks, I've been thinking of some similar research. "I know this has been proven for other species, but I wonder how legitimate it is for chahoua?" Haha. Oh well. I guess I should keep better records of my own, long term, so that I can find...

    Straight Source: Full Discussion with Facebook/Instagram Regarding Live Animal Sale Ban

    Hi Jenny, Despite my best efforts, I am not clear on that either. I *THINK* it's permissible to post third party links so long as those things aren't listed on facebook. I think it's going to take a bit of time for facebook to get to everyone, but I personally think they will ultimately...

    Popular Baby Food Flavors

    Years ago, feeding baby food amounted to witchcraft among Rhacodactylus keepers, but I feel like at least in the case of Chahoua, it's something that's been more openly spoken about. I have no qualms about the fact that I've fed my collection a baby food-based diet for many years with great...

    Growth Trends and Adult Sizes: PI vs GT Adults

    Hi All, I have a few thoughts and questions around growth and size with chahoua, and I'd love to have your insight and help. First, how much do your adult chahoua weigh on average, both for GT and PI individuals? I calculated this years ago and came out with an average weight of 46g for my GT...

    Chahoua X Crested Gecko Hybrids

    There was a pic a few years ago of a Crested x Gargoyle hatchling. I think I have it saved on my home computer.... but nothing for Chahoua x Garg.

    Post Your Oddball Color and Pattern Chahoua Here

    I know we all have at least one: That gecko with a strange pattern, color or collar shape. I'd love to dedicate a thread to all of our weirdos! This is one of mine, Bane. He is 100% Leapin Leachies High White lines, so when I bought him a few years ago, I was really excited to get my hands on...

    Gecko Laying Habits

    Unfortunately, I do have ONE female who likes to find the tightest crevice in the cork bark and squeeze her eggs in there: For those of you who offer lighting and warmer/cooler sides of your tanks, do you notice that females tend to lay the eggs in a cooler, warmer or more moderate...

    Egg incubation time

    Sorry, just catching up on old threads and saw this. I've been incubating at these temps for 3-4 years now, and actually have had great success. This Exo-Terra incubator is better at maintaining a range than a specific temp, so sometimes they are as high as 85F. Never had an issue. Did you ever...

    Egg cutting

    In the last two years, most of my eggs have run 75-83 days before hatching. Some even a little shorter, like 72 days. My first clutch of the year is now at 84 days and I'm really starting to be on edge about it. I've candled and definitely see healthy babies, but I also see a fair bit of yolk...

    Pine Island Growth Rates at 1 Year Old

    I'd love to get some feedback from folks on how much your average chahoua weighs at 1 year old. There seems to be a huge variance here... some say their geckos are around 15-18g at this age, some say they are 55-60g or even more. I'm also curious if anyone has kept good enough records to show...

    Eurydactylode - housing groups

    I had no idea you could do this. Very cool... and makes me wonder if it would work for other species also :unsure:

    Chahoua X Crested Gecko Hybrids

    Has anyone crossed a Chahoua to any of the other New Caledonian species, like sarasinorum? Just curious.
