Picked up this pair about a month ago, haven't gotten around to posting pictures here yet.

The female evidently came to me already gravid, and laid her eggs where the door of the cage meets the wall, and I did not see them before opening the door. The eggs didn't make it, but I think I may have more on the way. She is looking plump again and has begun hanging from the ceiling of the cage, something she did a lot before laying the first clutch.

Great pics. I definitely look forward to seeing a successful hatching. Good luck!

Thanks everyone! For those who keep Day Geckos or others, where do you usually get your bamboo poles for their cages? I am uneasy about purchasing some used for home decoration, as I would imagine they may be chemically treated. At the same time, I don't have a stand of bamboo to harvest some poles from...

I know where some is being grown. I can get you some
 
Try to make friends with people who have it growing on their property. That's what I did. :D

I do plan on growing some of the clumping kind in the future so I don't have to travel to get it.

Also, I see it for sale at reptile shows sometimes.
