And wan fn they look pretty.

thanks pony

They are looking great. You will have them popping out pairs of eggs soon ;-)

our s. cillarus, probably because they are fed late in their day, are happily active when the lights are on. The female is a particularly aggressive hunter and very entertaining.

I must say that these days I try to feed them crickets when I can as they hold more calcium when you dust them. They also get the odd fly or any other small insect that gets too close to me so I can catch it and throw it in.

We have another female almost adult size that I have hung on to add to the colony when she is fully grown.

Not many people keep this species.

Your williamsii look like a cross between a spiny tailed and a jewelled gecko - very pretty!

williamsi are a spiny tail, eastern spinytail gecko.
strohporus williamsi or diplodactylus williamsi, depending on who you ask.
and i believe are closely related to the jeweled.

After reading the care sheet on them again i think they may be to young to breed this season,

Most Bunnings have Air plants - Tillandsias - but make sure you get all the crickets out of the enclosure (if you feed in there) as they will eat and kill the plants. Otherwise they look awesome and are so easy to keep.

i never take the crickets out.. they usually get eaten the same night they get put in the enclosure...
new enclosure being setup now.. zoomed 12x12
