First 2014 hatchling!

March 30, 2014

I came home yesterday evening to find my first ever Nephrurus Amyae had hatched!
This species had been out of my price range for a long time, but I always wanted to keep and breed them. To open the incubator and see the first hatchling was really joyful! Coolest geckos ever!

This also happens to be the first hatchling of the 2014 season for me. Next in line should be Nephrurus Wheeleri Cinctus and hopefully followed up by some Uromastyx in the months to come!

Thanks for visiting my blog!

5 shelters are visible in this photo and there are 9 total shelters/hides that these Chuckwallas use regularly throughout the day. Security is the key goal here. In order for an animal to feel secure in the sense that it can find shelter if needed un

Evidence. What’s in the dish? A great mixture of a tiny bit of bee pollen, @exoterrausa calcium without D3, a small amount of Vionate, and some @tortoisesupply salad topper. This mixture is great for several uses, it I like to simply add it to
