Geckos

This summer has been full of baby geckos.  We found out last spring that Elise really was a girl when Bryson found eggs in her cage.  After researching a bit we learned that a female gecko can stay fertile up to a year! We separated the geckos, but know we had a lot of months of eggs coming our way.  We have had 5 babies hatch so far.  A couple of clutches didn't develop and  hatch.

This is Perch our first baby when he was working on shedding his skin.  It's amazing to watch.  They will use the branches around them to help get it off, but they also bite, peel it off and eat it.
Ginger Snap was the only one in his clutch that hatched.  It's fun to weigh the geckos when they are brand new.  Ginger was our smallest yet weighing in at......0grams.
