Early season

[OzGecko]

Just wondering who else out there may be having an unusually early season with a particular species they're keeping.
Two weeks ago when feeding my Nephrurus stellatus I noticed the female look a little thin compared to 2 days earlier. Looked underneath the tub to find 2 nice fertile eggs. I've got my fingers crossed as this is the first fertile clutch from the pair.

Nice. good luck with them. As for early season, not happening here i still have a couple of tanks of geckos just getting active!! I took crickets out of their tanks yesterday as they werent getting eaten.

My N. laevissimus have already laid a clutch. Thicktails are gravid and everything else seems to be getting really interested.

Cheers Andrew

I've got childreni hatching out as I type - by far the earliest I've experienced.

how are you incubating them? and how do you know they're fertile? Sorry for the newbie questions

Pretty exciting to be breeding stellatus

I have gecko eggs in the incubator, just levis levis. The first were laid in July, I've had them lay eggs in every month of the year. I had snakes born in June last year, some in May this year.

I've got a georgetown stimmie female that had her pre lay shed yesterday. About 8weeks earlier than my records for last year.

When I found the eggs and removed them I candled them and blood vessels were and are still clearly visible. As for incubation, they are set up on vermiculite mixed with water at a ratio of 1:1 by weight and incubated at 29 degrees.

Just found a second clutch from the stellatus today.

What about the jungles oz ?

Checked the incubator last night and found 2 little stellatus running around. Will get some pics later today. Not only was this an early clutch, they also hatched out in 54 days.
