    Cage aggression

    Welcome to the forum!! As much as Chahoua have sweet and interactive personalities, they can also have a protective and snappy side... but it really does vary individual to individual. Just as an overview: I have two geckos who will go up to the top of the tank when I walk into my gecko room...

    Gecko Laying Habits

    Here is an example of the cork I provide for my females to lay under. It's been successful so far!

    PI or Mainland, Does It Really Matter Anymore?

    It's been a few years since I looked at it, but I thought: "Mainland" chahoua = Mniarogekko jalu "Pine Island" chahoua = Mniarogekko chahoua What I am reading above seems to indicate the existence of both species in both locations, meaning that there could actually be two different types of...

    PI or Mainland, Does It Really Matter Anymore?

    Thank you so much for this post. I have spent time over the last two weeks rereading much of what has been published and just as you note, there is very little content on animals found on Isle de Pines vs. those collected on the mainland (Grand Terre). I still have a lot more to consider, but...

    What's your non-gecko job?

    That's amazing. You are a saint! I greatly admire people like you who have a passion for public service.

    What is "power feeding"?

    @MelissaSR hit it on the head by saying that at least with chahoua, it's a little more contextual than with other New Caledonian species. Years ago, many people kept Chahoua the exact same as they kept cresteds: lots of fruit, few insects. That diet regimen is OK for cresteds, auriculatus, and...

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

    Like, since being offered a dropped tail, she decided that she wanted more and was going after her tank-mate's? Yikes!

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

    This happens to me, and @vitog123 was just saying the same thing. They tend to take them.... then spit them out. I'm really not sure why!

    Mainland/GT Appreciation Thread!

    Have you guys ever seen Jonathan DeBoer's GTs? He owns Jecko's Geckos and I'm thinking about scooping up some of his animals to restart a GT group. Example, from Jecko's Geckos:

    Your (Chahoua's) Favorite Feeder Insects

    Do you do anything to the superworms before feeding so they don't bite your geckos? I watched a superworm bite one of my female's lips years ago, and I could tell it hurt!

    Your (Chahoua's) Favorite Feeder Insects

    This has generally been my experience also. I believe it was Ariel who recently posted a video of one of his chewies eating a pinky that had been dipped in fresh banana. Pinkies are a bit of a hassle for me... my local shows never have them live, and I have some strange dislike for thawing...

    PI or Mainland, Does It Really Matter Anymore?

    This is a great and timely topic, following up on some of the Facebook controversy about tail regeneration between PI and GT. From what I’ve been told, for a very long time in the early 90s, these geckos were just sold as “chahoua” with no regard for mainland, PI or sub-localities within those...

    Curious if we think these guys would be pastels - thoughts? Maybe a tad too dark?
