I offer ambient heat for all of my geckos during the breeding season via a space heater. I try to chase a high of 76-80 degrees and a low of 68-71. This is the first year I have offered additional heat for my chahoua pairs and my female leachies. I use a halogen puck light setup that is 20...

How much of a temperature spike are you talking about? Like something into the high 80s or low 90s? Or a temperature swing from night to day? My gecko room can go from 69-81 during the day after the heat is turned on. Do you think that much of a swing is potentially threatening to the developing...

I know people who keep and breed gila monsters and beaded lizards feed them quail eggs. It's a staple of their diet out in the wild. Not sure if that can apply to New Caledonian geckos though. Some of the powder diets have dried egg white in them, so it might be safe?

I have similar experiences to chahoua losing interest in roaches. Mine usually happens in the 30-40 gram range. What usually happens is the chahoua will grab the roach from the tongs and start munching on it slowly and then spit it out. Not sure if it was the food that the roaches were fed, if...

I have tried many of times to feed pinkies to my chahoua. My personal experience is that they didn't like them. Maybe I didn't have the pinkies warm enough, maybe they just didn't care for them because they were already dead and did not struggle at all when bit. Maybe they just didn't like the...

This is my dream pair for 2019. Khaleesi (top) Drogon (bottom). It is their first year breeding and I have 2 good eggs in the incubator so far. Picture quality is a little weird because I had to compress the picture.

I support this decision!

I read this the other day and it was very fascinating article! From what it souned like is the original species that evolved into this flightless island bird is capable of migrating back to this island and re-evolving if the evolved form on the island has been decimated.

Michael, how is the consistency of the pangea with insects? Is it as runny and clumpy as the fig and insect? If not, I will probably give it a try when I order next time.

] I am taking my first stab at using a homemade diet and I am trying out a couple different variations of the Modern Dinosaur Diet that Michael used/uses. For convenience sake I am using the organic baby food. Might try the fresh mangos though when I get some free time on the weekend.

Did they seem to like it better than the fig and insects by pangea? Have you tried mixing mango baby food into that? I may test that out this week.

I really like this idea. I think you did a great job of drawing out the examples. I agree that for a chahoua to be placed in a new category like "whiteout" , it should at least 50% white body coverage. The issue would be, how much is 50%? 50% of the gecko not including its underside? We could...

Very interesting observation. So your theory is, the larger the egg, the longer it will take to incubate. That actually makes sense in a way. If there is more space inside of the egg, one could assume that it would take the baby longer to develop to fill up that space.

This is the 1st chahoua I ever hatched out. 1 of the 2 that were produced last year. I knew right away he was gonna be special. It ended up being a male which was great. He will be ready to breed in 2020.

I am still new to chahoua breeding. I hatched out my first 2 babies last May. They were incubated for around 100 days at fluctuating room temps from 68-81 degrees. This seems to be faster than most of the incubation times I have read from other breeders. I have 2 eggs incubating right now in...

Here is my E. Vieillardi. He was missing a toe on his right front leg when I got him :/. Thinking about being cliche and naming him "Little Foot" or "Little Finger" 😆.

What would you all consider this chahoua? I'm leaning towards white collar, but it does have some broken spaces.

Just this year I got into Eurydactylodes. Bought my first Vieillardi from Pangea Reptile and love the little dude! he has very cool colors. I am very interested in the Symmetricus, but because of their rarity, the prices are very high and inconsistent. I have also heard of some breeders having...

Top chahoua is a white shoulder (white wings) and the bottom would be a white collar I think.

This is such a juicy topic! I really like how you laid it out Michael. I would have to agree on most of that. I am on the fence about whether or not there should be a new label for "higher white" "extremely white" "whiteout" whatever one wants to label it. I would possibly apply these labels to...
