Their care is pretty simple, just like gecks really. They definately seem to like their food though

Them liking food is an understatement!

If they are a sexed pair, full grown and live together then your female will be gravid.... they lay eggs every 28 - 32 days., eggs take as long to hatch so it's one in one out...

yay!

Mine live with a Pygmy Beardie and sub adult Pink Tongue.... they steal greens out of the mouth of the Beardie, run around the tank with them until they realize it's not meat then spit it out.... I don't bother collecting the eggs, beardie needs to get something back out of the deal.

Cool How large are usual clutch sizes?

 

[JasonL]

4 eggs for yearlings / first time layers, then 6 eggs from then on, around 4-5 clutches a years for veteran layers.

By looking at her today I can say shes definately gravid, I could see the small shapes of eggs in her body

 

[BigWillieStyles]

They look great, how big are they?

 

[snakeluvver]

SVL probs just under 10cm, the male is about 20cm nose to tail. The female is a bit shorter as her tail is regenerated.
