    Chahoua X Crested Gecko Hybrids

    @TracyPD and I have chatted about it before, although they can reproduce together, pairing them up isn't always a guarantee you will get fertile eggs. I won't lie, I tried last season as I knew the chances of a lot of fertile eggs were low and I literally had a waiting list of good friends I...

    Crested calcium issue

    My first question is are these all first year breeders? Cresteds can have weird first seasons. My recommendation for calcium is Miner-all indoor formula, been using it for years, love the stuff. Generally in the breeding season I add it into the CGD on a bi weekly basis as many of my geckos...

    Calcium Crashes

    I haven't had it happen in a few years since offering rescue cal on a therapeutic level (monthly starting in march-September in their food), but many people may still encounter it. Figured having tips on how to deal with it would be nice as a search topic for people in times of need.

    How many eggs do your female Chahoua lay each season?

    I have one female who is a champ and plugs out 4 clutches a season, another who is good for 3 clutches, but usually one of those has an infertile egg. The last she is new as of last year and she only gave me 2, so far this season she has given me 2 (one infertile). The last was paired after her...

    Calcium Crashes

    I am sure we have all experienced them one time or another and since it is breeding season I figured maybe we have a tips thread on what you have found works well for you. As their day to day calcium supplement I use Miner-All indoor formula (also what calcium I use for my gutload for the...

    Egg Incubation Medium & Methods

    Although I did this with crested eggs, one year I played with egg suspension over the medium, worst hatch rate ever. Never went back!

    One bad egg, one good egg

    I remove clearly infertile eggs from the good egg. A razorblade makes easy work to remove it

    What are some of your other hobbies (aside from reptiles)?

    I have 3 dogs and a cat who are on partial raw so I feel your pain! In the warm months we go fishing all the time, and whats great now is that we have a lab now who loves to go swimming, all 3 dogs now partake in swimming. But its so much fun to take the lab out, toss him decoys and he swim out...

    In-Tank Incubation / Will Chahoua Eat Their Offspring?

    I don't think Angie is in here but I know last year she had a clutch of ML hatch in the parents tank, when she found them one was tailless. Could have been some random response, could have been running from the parents lol

    Eurydactylodes Agricolae vs. Vieillardi in Photos

    The problem with eurydactylodes in general is that the babies aren't quite as hardy as the other mainstream NC geckos. They remind me a bit of phelsuma when they hatch, if they don't have a good first shed, they struggle. If you keep their humidity high as babies they seem to do well. I think...

    Your (Chahoua's) Favorite Feeder Insects

    Mine love crickets and supers, babies love dubias. They will take wax worms, but they dont seem to like horn or silkworms

    Feeding Larger Live Prey Items - Pinkies, Other Geckos, etc.

    I see no behavioral changes when I offer dropped tails to the chahoua, however dropped tails are few and far between that I can't make a conclusion since it isnt a staple. Your experience may just be an isolated experience as other people I have talked to who offer dropped tails have not...
