Oh boy...


There's been a bunch going on here at LGP Gecko in the last two weeks.....

Three geckos have found new homes (Leonidas, Ducky, and Sprite)

Three new geckos have arrived (Sebastian, Ariel, and GT)

Four eggs have hatched (Flotsam & Jetsam, Ren &Stimpy)

Many eggs have been laid (8 with Doughball in her laybox as we speak)

New tanks and shelf has been added to accommodate all the changes.

Let's start with a silly photo.... prior to everyone getting their place on the new shelf, the geckos were all fed their weekly crickets. Milo loves this time of the week... he loves the escapees [crickets that is]. Here he is eyeballing the crickets that are jumping around in the tanks.

Nala is one of our hardest geckos to photo graph... her pattern just seems to be washed away no matter if I use flash or not. Here's about as close as it gets to being true to life. She's such a pretty lady.

Our geckos REALLY like the peach flavored CGD. They were on banana but we saw some weight drop in a few adults so we switched and have been finding big chunks out of bowls since. Evidence: Raja (top), Phoenix (middle), and Aladdin (bottom) all showing down at the same time.

These ladies love their peach as well... but already ate and now are having difficulty figuring out who should be in line where... took a minute and stepping on each others' heads but they worked it out.

Now onto the new setups... We added another shelf on the other side of the room to accommodate the growing number of hatchlings and move some of the larger tanks off the top of the other shelves.


New Hatchlings: Flotsam & Jetsam (from Little Mermaid)
These are Spike x Nala's first hatchlings... exactly what we expected from them. Partial pins with harley patterning.
They aren't even two weeks old yet and they will only get better.

We posted pics of Ariel in the last post but Sebastian wasn't being cooperative last time so here he is along with GT, our new pinstripe.

Both of these gentleman are weighing 21 grams so it will be some time before we have them breeding. We will be on the look out for the perfect match for GT though.

Hoping any day for another set of Gambit eggs to hatch. Her first two hatchlings have already found homes. The next set to hatch would be our first from the Goliath x Bagheera pairing... hopefully VERY dark.

Pineapple and Brooklyn both laid infertile eggs this past week. Supposedly Pineapple was with a male prior to us having her and SUPPOSEDLY laid eggs two weeks before we got her (which would be in the beginning of May) so it doesn't quite add up. Hoping they are just her body's natural response. Now Brooklyn we've had for about 2 weeks and the prior owner didn't think she was bred so we're hoping for the same reason as Pineapple.

Oh the joys of eggs.

Rafiki, Gambit, and Yoshi have all laid in the past two weeks as well. Those eggs appear to be doing fine. Doughball & Bagheera should be laying this week.


OY. That's enough updates for now. Have a great week!
