I couldn't go to Tinley this year, but I was living vicariously through everyone else's social media updates, so I thought it would be good to start a thread of all the new faces acquired at Tinley. Ready... Set... Go!

I can't believe all the time I put into pics in the OP went down the shitter. Dangit!

This might be a dense question, but what's a paw paw?

You should be fine. Shipping isn't much of a bother!

What are their ages? 42g is not out of the ordinary for a GT male, in my experience :)

@ET Geckos has some feelings/research on this. We've talked about it before and if I recall correctly, in her opinion, overweight geckos become bad breeders. I think you might be onto something...

This makes me feel better - like I'm not the only person struggling! I've bred Chahoua for 10 years and these last two have really been a struggle. In the 2013 - 2014 seasons, every pair was laying 6+ fertile eggs and they were all hatching. I was swimming in babies and could barely control them...

This is super helpful, Mel. Thanks for sharing!

Cutie - and nice pattern!

Agreed - should be fine! :)

I also have the exoterra... but I'm on my second. Quality isnt great :(

Hi All, I find myself in the midst of my second "crappy" chahoua season - lots of dud eggs, which makes me think my males aren't getting the job done. Females are reliably laying beautiful eggs but they're infertile. Over the years, I've left some pairs together, swapped out others, repaired...

I think I JUST ran out and threw the bag away, but the brand I used is organic and has no "extras" added to it. Probably not great for growing plants, but it's been great for growing geckos!

So sorry to hear this :( I have a decent local exotics vet, but he is definitely not a New Caledonian species expert. A few years ago, I had a female who crashed so hard that I got concerned and took her to him for help. I received the same outcome that you did with injections for a week or so...

I've been using this setup for probably 7-8 years now? Once a quarter, I take everything out, turn and aerate all the soil, wipe everything down, etc. It has worked very well for me overall.

I love this topic! I have kept my animals in live/bioactive vivariums for several years, both because I think they help maintain humidity and I personally like how they look. I have never put drainage layers in mine and personally think those work better for super humid species like dart frogs...

Very nice! You know I love that combination of orange/red highlights with a dark base!

Temporary Sale: Offering this girl up for $1,200 shipped for the next few days. I'll try to take some better pictures this weekend, but she now has nice oranges and peach tones starting to show up. Can't beat these genetics for the price!

As another point of reference here, my eggs have reliably hatched in 75-79 days for the last 3 seasons. I have no idea why, but so far this year they're all running closer to 90 days with the same temps and incubation methods. You never really know.

This is super helpful... I'll try blending some of the Repashy with Pangea Watermelon and report back. Also... thanks for joining! Glad to have you guys here! :)
