Crestie breeding project

[clarkrw3]

I know I have another thread going on this but I am going to keep this thread updated with all the hatchlings I get this year from the two pairings I have going. So subscribe and hold on to see some awesomeness

Here are the three breeders I am using this year.
Maunganui - Female

Kilauea - Female

Humphrey - Male

Here are the first two babies from Humphrey X Maunganui I have 4 more eggs cooking from this pairing and 2 eggs cooking from the Humphrey X Kilauea pairing.

They are beautiful! Similar to my cresties, I'm not familiar with morph names, but I have a male in the cream and brown and a yellow female and orange female. The second female has only just got old enough for me to be sure she's a she, without a loupe!

Their eggs should be due fairly soon, I'm so excited! Do you think the cream/brown patterning is dominant usually? It seems to be more common than the others, but maybe it's just because lots of people like the patterning!

I want a crestie like your guy Humphrey but the wife said no
Good luck with all the eggs

So, no new hatchlings to report (should be another couple weeks or so). However, we did get 4 more eggs over the weekend Two perfect eggs from each female. So with the cham (Nosy Faly) eggs I got over the weekend that makes 30 total this weekend...going to be a busy house

I just got a breeding pair last weekend and the female is gravid from a previous mating. She's laid two eggs a few months back and are incubating (which I don't have) and now about to lay again in the next few weeks! What do you use for your female to lay and any tips, also what did she look like when gravid. I can't find any answers on that. They are Red Phase Morphs. Very colorful, the female has a nipped tail and the male is flawless to me. Just both need a shed.

Congrats on the babies!

Thanks so much! JB's is a great breeder! Mine are plain red/tan geckos and I have a harlequin that is about 4 grams. The female is right at 36 grams and the male is 35. I palpated the female and felt an egg. So should have some incubating next week sometime. How long do they incubate?

It all depends on temps. Anywhere from 45-120+ days. The longer the incubation the better the tail and crests.

Awesome! I ended up finding two perfect white Crested Gecko eggs yesterday morning before I went to work. Should have babies hatching out sometime in August or September.

Congrats that's awesome news

Gecko #3 just popped out of the egg from the Humphrey x Maunganui pairing and once again I was not disappointed Let me know what you think.

 

[clarkrw3]

Well not to be out done #4 decided to show up tonight as well Full pinning and a really cool cross brace pattern in the back....I'm happy 3 out of 4 100% pinners this season is none too shabby.

 

[coldbloodedAL]

Congratulations Rob!!! You plan on keeping these for future projects?!!?

 

[clarkrw3]

Thanks!! Well, maybe some...I really wasn't planning on getting this many kick a hatchlings. I had pretty much planned on keeping #2 and probably still will but at this point I will have to have some grow up a little and see what they look like. #2 is so chill and social for a hatchling, which is super cool

While I was waiting to the next set of Humphrey x Maunganui babies to pop my first Kilauea x Humphrey babies popped out last night. I really had NO idea what I was going to get from this pairing but looks like both very possibly are going to get mom's color (The red develops a little later in development) and a lot of dad's back patterning just like I was hoping. Both are partial pincers but if they both go hot red like mom I can live with that for sure!!

 

[clarkrw3]

So the Fifth Maungo x Humph baby showed up tonight and has some really cool patterning and killer lats. I think it's another home run, let me know what you think...sorry for the poor photos was having trouble with the camera

I had the clutch mate to the above gecko hatch out today out of Humph x Maung. Really nice looking gecko. Not quite a full pinner but just like the clutch mate that hatched out yesterday really nice laterals. I am just so very pleased with the geckos that keep hatching out from this pairing, hope they keep on coming.
