Lepidodactylus lugubris

Might as well show our lizard as well. We really only have one picture of her so far, she is still quite shy. It's a (so far) nameless mourning gecko.

And the terrarium:

She is about 8 months now, so we expect her to lay her first eggs anytime now. Really exciting! And really practical to only need one animal to breed

[ViperJr]

Wohow! We just saw her sitting on the glass side, with a very visible egg inside her! Partyy!!

She's lovely, geckos are such beautiful animals, and i've just read up on Mourning Gecko reproduction, very interesting i knew insects and worms parthenogentic but not any reptiles.

very nice geckos are great to have around i used to keep golden tailed geckos but unfortunatly u now need an advanced liscense.

Hi Martin,

The exoterra terrarium are not really adapted for Lepidodactylus
Younger can escape by the Closable inlets for wires and/or tubing even if they're closed.

Younger are very very small, to prevent escape use silicon to close those parts and also for the cut out in background.

I'm not sure you understand what i wrote

[ViperJr]

Yes, she really is a beautie! And yeah, cloning amongst reptiles are awesome. Godzilla style

Mathieu:
Yes, I know the babies are very small and can escape via the vent holes and between the glass sides. That's why we have an escape-proof enclosure until the young ones are big enough to move home again

Ok

[ViperJr]

Why don't you post a picture of your terrarium for the L. lugubris?

[mathieu]

One Lepidodactylus live in each terrarium of my dartfrog, you can see two in my photo album, the other terrarium are just for the breeding dartfrog.

Ah, sorry, I did not understand that. That's cool! Do they notice each other, the frogs and the gecko? Or do they just mind their own business?
