Peacock Day Geckos

[A. gigas]

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

Male:







Female:





Together:




The cage:



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.

Beautiful pair. Looking forward to seeing hatching pics.

Nice setup and yes, plan on getting quite a few eggs from that little lady.

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.

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.

Still needs bamboo, but it's coming along nicely.
