    So they are kind of like cresties then as far as incubation. Don't you love waiting lol.

    they are similar but they do take longer to hatch. you should see the eggs when they are first layed--they are about the size of tic tacs!

    Just so tiny.:)

    somehow these seem more hardy than some of the other tiny gecko species babies i've held. with the others i did feel like i couldn't really handle them for fear of hurting them, but these are more solid or something--i don't feel that way with them so much.

    here is a pic of dad on my finger for size reference (mom is about the same size, just chunkier in the belly area :P ):

    Looking great Emily!!! Glad to see you doing well with those guys!!

    I love Aussie geckos. When you getting into some Nephrurus or Diplodactylus? I have been eyeing up those two groups for some time now...just have not taken the leap into them yet :)

    Mine too.....well actually they are at the top of my 'to get' list......

    conspicillatus is my favorite....but I don't really want to deal with those guys...something about their picky nature with food makes me fear them ;)

    Re: first aussie hatchling!
    i don't know much about the conspicillatus. i can deal with a picky bp, but a picky gecko--now that makes me nervous.

    let me know if you get some galeatus. (so i can drive to your place under the dark cover of night and steal them). :D

    Congrats on the newest hatchlings. (even if you have the nerve to announce the second hatchling with NO pic :giggle: ) They are absolutely adorable.

    How are their temperments? Are the super jumpy?

    they aren't jumpy at all. well, actually after the photos and blinding flash the first little one did make a rather speedy run for it when being put into its kritter keeper but i can't really blame it there. the adults are nice and calm though--they mostly just chill and check things out while i handle them. :)
