I've been following this thread since you started it.

The whole project is simply amazing and the residents are great!

The set up doesn't look like every other one out there, it has a unique flavor and class I really like. Great job!

Thanks guys. I have to say these things are soo fun to watch, they have soo much character. I am beginning to see some differences in personality between the 4.

There was a gnat that was flying around in the enclosure and one of the babies literally jumped and caught it mid flight. :eek:

Right now diet is my #1 focus..I have them on FruitFlies, fruit baby food, pinhead crickets, Crested gecko diet and ripe crushed fruit (mangos and peaches for now)

Ha ha these are one of those little beasties that are just so cool all you'd have to do is post somewhere you're thinking about breeding them and they would all be spoken for!

Yea. Laurie did a great job raising these guys. They are really bold and very curious. The fun for me is watching this group mature. I already started another enclosure (this time a converted 10g AGA tank) justtt incase one or both of the younger williamsi is a male and there is conflict.

One thing i noticed and i'll have to see what happens on other nights. There are tonssssss of hiding space. Half of the bamboo are split all the way down.

I have the lights on a step-timer. One of the lights goes out 20 minutes before the other. After the first light went out both younger williamsi disappeared, i noticed one inside of a piece of bamboo. The other i have noo idea where it is. The sub-adults however are sleeping out in the open, both are in the corner of the glass about 2 inches from eachother.

Just wondering why not hide?:confused:

lol, yea. They won't be avaliable from me any time soon, if at all! Im just trying to breed as much as i can and trade blood with other breeders. If i sell off any it would be in pairs to someone who is responsable and also intends on breeding them.
 
Lol I love how the hottest thread on chamforums is about geckos and boots.

Just kidding.

I totally see the potential of this cage for chams. Jon you mention pygmy eggs. The first thing that comes to mind is leaving some of the container slots unplanted with just soil and leaves in the pot. If the pygs choose those containers you can just lift them out and put the pot right in an incubator.

I was also thinking that. But I feel the current pot size selection will be too small. I'm thinking maybe a cut-out to fit a rectangle Tupperware container that would serve the same purpose.
 
Jon I am happy you are enjoying the kids. I find it funny, i send you 4 of the and the same day my female lays 2 more eggs. What ever I an doing seems to work, cause the just keep coming. I love the tiny ones when they first hatch. Jon look at the smallest one you have, a baby tail and all is less than half that size.:):) Get ready. Also, most of mine sleep in the open all time.

Thanks Laurie. Even the babies were sleeping out in the open?

And you are a beast, like a williamsi gecko-mill over there!lol

Morning pix!

Male and baby #2 (you were right Laurie, they love the top of the wall. Im soo glad i sealed it well so they don't get to the back of it)

Sealing the wall was a really good step. For the first time these eggs were laid on the glass behind the wall. I will need to carefully watch the back of the terrarium to know when they hatch. Then just hope the babies will be smart enough to come to the front where the food is.

Most of mine sleep stuck to the side of the glass, but a could have slept flat out on a leaf. They look adorable like that.:)

Its good to be the king. They all look great but the king is stunning! He does look like he should be crowned the way he is sitting there.
