Madagascar Gecko Shipment Pictures

Nice shirt chad!

 

[Ryan Jarosek]

Why do you guys still import so many wild animals that you already have?
How many of those will survive? And arent there alot of bloodlines and generations of those crested geckos anyway?

You are kidding right? Crested geckos are not from Madagascar There is not one crested gecko in the bunch.

If you are not kidding maybe its time to brush up on some gecko species.

 

[Zen Reptiles]

I was wondering the same thing. I think they meant leaf tails, not cresteds.

Why are so many of the commonly available geckos bred in captive populations, still being imported?

Hopefully they were from spots in Maddy that were threatened by deforestation, and the animals had no hope of surviving anyway

What kinda Brookesia came in?

 

[Kent67]

Um, which of the Uroplatus are commonly available as captive bred?

They got all 4 species of the Brookesia.

If someone knows something we don't please share. I promise if I can buy CBB I would be more than happy to never buy another import.

a 477 buddy of mine gave me that shirt, I love the new school bug on the back of it.

Actually, there are a couple of people that are actively breeding and producing u. sikorae and u. henkeli (and a few u. fimbriatus) but they keep themselves under the radar. Those of us that have been working with uroplatus for a while now have been/are working hard at producing CBB to aleviate the need for imports. I don't like getting imports either, but sometimes it is necessary.

same.


i just started working with my U. sikorae and would like to breed them, eventually i will need more, it was very hard to find CB species..

i checked on the gecko forums, and the prices were pretty beefy.


LLL had some captive males and they are doing terrific. 22grams.. he's mated with my female.. but she has laid 4 eggs, each time without enough calcium to solidify.

working hard to fix that though

Sang,

If you've witnessed them mating, then start supplementing with more calcium. I just had this discussion with Chad as a matter of fact. We dust Calcium w/D3 almost daily for our U. lineatus and they've never produced infertile eggs. Our henkeli had produced a few duds and absorbed a clutch of three that we could see bulging out of her sides but never made it out. Since supplementing with calcium the same female has produced four good eggs in 2 months. Right back on schedule.

Good luck!

Yes, I also supplement with Calcium w/D3 for all my uros at every feeding. Keep in mind that these guys are tricky. Sometimes you will get some duds and sometimes they can just re-absorb the eggs, even if you are doing everything right. Ah, the joys of breeding uros.

Here are the geckos that we kept...

Satanic

His name is Elmo

And a cork pair

I also got a few frogs (4).

Talk about slacking!

Talk about slacking!

Um, who you callin' a slacker, slacker? (or do I just call you "hijacker"?)

 

[AJA]

Chad, you're killing me!!!

Now I have to clean up the drool off my keyboard.

 

[Sang]

Terrific guys.



thanks for the tips /chams1/luevelvet




my female is a beefy 33grams, my male is 22 grams.


i will start doing d3 with every feeding. but its so hard cause i try to spray first then put food in,

they don't touch any of the silk worms i have tried to offer.


wish i could try more then just crickets... roaches hide in there cork bark to fast.

 

[Vegas Chad]

I like this one the best

 

[Texas Panther Man]

Ive never seen cork gecko before. Those are awesome. I love those frogs also. I would def of ended up walking home. lol

 

[luevelvet]

Good shots of some beautiful phantasticus!

[Kent67]

Got my phantasticus today! Thanks very much to the Tiki Crew for picking him out and to Ryan and Lisa for coming down to SD, hanging out, an excellent brunch, and for the home delivery. He's got some awesome orange markings worthy of some more photos once I see him settling in well.
