Default Baby Gecko's

I have had my Gecko for a few months they are lovely little things the female has been laying 2 eggs every month or 6 weeks since end of February we got the first two out but were stuck together and I thought they wouldn't do much but stuck them in the incubator anyway The second two we missed and they had dried out and there were two more day before yesterday but they were stuck t the stone hide. I managed to get one out but the other split so was no good.

I went to check tonight and got a huge shock when there were two perfect baby Gecko looking up at me. Even bigger shock when I picked one up and it jumped out of my hand lol had to play hunt the Gecko with the kids and Martin round the sitting room. Poor dog was quickly shoved into kitchen bless him but I think he would of enjoyed the snack had he found it first. Note to self Baby Gecko are very fast!

Thankfully found it and have them in a clean Ice cream tum in the grown ups house for now, It has a lid with holes so they are safe in there. Need to get a house set up for them tomorrow. So I've had 100% success incubating eggs so far am so pleased. I know this is pure fluke and I am bound to have some problems in the future but I am really happy at the moment. Got to say I am really pleased that the incubator has had that much success since it was the cheapest option.

Will try and take some pictures tomorrow when I get them settled a bit they are a bit scared bless them so have left them alone. They are very Cute :0)

They're so lovely. My eldest son is planning on spending his first wage packet on a new set up for a leopard gecko.
Well done Cheryl - what a great little surprise for you.

I need to give them mini set ups while I look after them they are supposed to be sold on as I could end up with loads of them over one breeding season. I'm just learning at the moment but the tortoise breeding was helpful it's similar in some ways. They are cute little things though.
