so dazb has a proper camera and can actually use it lol
baby Maddie hatched yesterday
and baby Maddie hatched earlier today, just in the process of shedding
again, to get the scale of how teeny tiny they are that's a plastic milk bottle top with their food in! though i'm always surprised how big they are when the hatch compared to the little egg they've come out of, must be a tight squeeze!!  |

at least 1 will be up for sale, i may hold back the 2nd one to hatch
but on the otherhand i don't want to end up with multiple set-ups as we've got enough on already and vivs everywhere, and i don't want her breeding with dad so in reality, both will be offered  |

thanks for all the lovely comments
danny - i have my adult breeding pair in an E-T 45cm x 45cm x 60cm (the 60 being the height) which has lots of branches and fake plants
they're kept at about 31*C on the basking spot on the highest branch
they have a 5% UV bulb on during the daytime
they need misting once but ideally twice a day to maintain around 80% humidity
mine feed on Repashy diet (like fruit baby food) and locusts or crickets (don't need to dust or gut-load as the Repashy is a complete food)
i use quite wet cocoa husk substrate but i've used spaghnum moss and repti-carpet too
i actually find them really easy to keep now i've got my head round feeding them every day lol
they do stress easily and can't really be handled but i like having a really nicely done out viv and playing spot the gecko lol the male often sits head-down on the viv doors or the sides showing off but the female who is more nervous is often seen basking on branches or hanging underneath! |

I can't believe I'm asking this but what are the care requirments for these little beauties?? Are they like cresties needing high humidity?? What food do you feed them?? Also what size terraroum would they need when fully grown |

They really are adorable. I agree that it's amazing how they managed to fit into those tiny eggs. If I was happy with bugs I would definitely have one of those little beauties |

yeah they're fiddley little b**gers!! i might have to cover the lid of the Maddies faun with a pair of sheer tights to prevent escapees......last thing i need is loads of loose insects! |

haha, are they the pin head size crickets, and if they are i feel sorry for you. we had to use them in the baby crestie tanks and about half of them were on the floor and half of them were in the tank, and we only needed a few lol |

they're Phelsuma madagascariensis or Madagascar Day geckos, i think mum is a giant (P.m.grandis)but dad definitely isn't. Dad's got a lot of orangey red and they're particularly striking as babies. they've been offered a liquid gecko food though i've not seen either of them feed yet, i bought some teeny tiny crickets last week ready for when the eggs hatched but the crickets have grown too big already lol off to buy some more tomorrow! |
