Since 26 November we got our first baby geckos.
Personally a little milestone since it’s the first reptile I got offspring off that’s not a Ball python.
Its a bit of unexpected.
Because the mom has not seen our male ever since she got here.
I think its probably retained sperm or a parto clutch.
Either way she must have hidden the eggs and somehow they hatched!
So I was quite surprised to suddenly see little lizards walking around with mom…
They all have their own set up.
As that’s probably the best way to avoid any incidents.
But I’m very happy with these colourful little buggers!
Fingers crossed!
(Any tips or tricks are welcome)

Well pass out the cigars and break out the champagne! Congratulations on 4 of the cutest little gecko babies I have seen in a long time! Momma did good! I can’t believe she hid her eggs so well but she obviously took good care of them!
Such little sweeties! New life is grand!

Thanks.
Haha it’s gets even harder to find eggs if you are not even expecting any.
My best guess is she found a good spot.
Made a hole and after laying eggs covered it up again.

Nothing fancy.
They are just Wildtype Goniurosaurus orientalis.
Off course the colour of the babies will change as they grow into adults.
I think there is something like a high pink line.
As far I’m aware off there are no other morphs with these species.
But I could be wrong.
