    What fruit diet are you currently feeding your chahoua?

    I buy the Plum Organics brand because I don't have great year-round access to fresh mangos. I've also seen the looza mango nectar, but it seems to have a good bit of added water and says it's from concentrate, so I've avoided it.

    What fruit diet are you currently feeding your chahoua?

    I've only fed the Fig & Insects once, but this definitely got a better feeding response off the bat. I grow fresh figs, so maybe I should try blending some of those in when they're ripe!

    Ambient temperatures, heat lamps, cooling, etc

    One of the the best things I did years ago for my chahoua was add heat lights for the breeding pairs. I know most of us have read and seen that chahoua and most New Caledonian species don't need heat - and they definitely don't NEED it - but I notice that my breeding females spend a good bit of...

    What fruit diet are you currently feeding your chahoua?

    I fed Pangea with insects last night, and mixed in a little mango baby food + calcium and they took to that much faster than they did the pangea diet alone. However, they really dug into the Pangea with insects on day 2, so I'll see how their dishes look tomorrow morning and report back.

    Egg incubation time

    PICS! Maybe kick off a new thread for 2019 hatchlings?!

    To Leachie or not to Leachie... that is the question.

    It's been a few years, but I had one GT-B and GTx leachianus at one point in my reptile keeping life. I bought both of them as adults and one day I was holding the female with no shirt on. She crawled from my hand up my forearm and I moved my arm against my body so she wouldn't fall off. Upon...

    Egg incubation time

    As the eggs age, they tend to take on water and get larger, and I think there is a fine balance between temps, time, humidity and development. When the eggs are laid, they're obviously fairly hard. As time goes on, they soak up humidity and moisture from the environment, expand, the shells...

    Those geckos are both gorgeous, @TroysGeckos!

    How is the response on the BP diet? I've never tried it. Has anyone tried ZooMed?

    Egg incubation time

    Phil Tremper once told me that "...if your eggs are taking longer than 90 days to incubate, you're asking for trouble." For the first few years I had chewies, I was just incubating them at room temp and waiting half a year. After this conversation, I bought an incubator and most of mine hatch...

    Terminology: "Super High White" vs. "High White" vs. "White Collar" vs. "White Wings" vs. "Green Collar"

    ^That's another one that's hard to qualify, I'd say. It's more than "white shoulders" but maybe I'd say a little less than "white collar." Hmmm 🤔

    Pictures: Your Holdbacks from the 2018 Breeding Season

    I figured it might be fun to see everyone's holdbacks from the 2018 season. I only held back a few geckos, and I'll start with one I just photographed. I was planning to sell her because I'm heavy on females, but this is also the most fired up I've ever seen her, so now I'm torn. What to...

    Eurydactylodes Agricolae vs. Vieillardi in Photos

    Wow! I have only ever seen maybe 2-3 pics of either of those, ever. Thanks for sharing!

    Ah! I gotcha! These have screen tops, so I reach in from above :)

    What fruit diet are you currently feeding your chahoua?

    I've been thinking about it and believe it might be time to do another round up of diets like I did years ago...

    Terminology: "Super High White" vs. "High White" vs. "White Collar" vs. "White Wings" vs. "Green Collar"

    Hey, Jeff! I wasn't thinking that the entire collar had to be side to side without breaks, but at least some part of it. However, seeing your first pic, even though there's a break down the middle, that's definitely a gecko I'd consider to be a white collar. Great discussion points. That second...

    Me too, because I would love to have everyone else's perspective!
