Photo of gecko's mating

[Grant]

Hi all, just snapped this quick shot of two asian house gecko's mating (yes I know they're a pest). This is the first time I've seen any form of lizard species mating in the wild so I though I'd just pop it up.

herptrader....very nice shot, ive kept those, didnt have any problems with them laying or hatching the eggs, but i kept loosing high percentages of the young after about six months. :cry: never figured it out :?

The female has been slowly developing a kinky tail and more recently kinks in her spine.

The first egg laid was desicated and did not last long incubator.

4 weeks later there was a second which went mouldy after about 3 weeks in the incubator.

The third egg was laid about 2 weeks ago and I spotted it very soon after it was laid and it seems to be doing well in incubation - fingers crossed.

I am, however, after another female or two for the breeding setup.

This photo seems appropriate here. This was taken not 20 minutes ago.
