The leaking gecko egg UPDATE and GREAT news.

CONTRATULATIONS!!!!? I would have put it down as DOA.? They usually start eaging 5-10 days after.? I offer cgd for the the first 2 weeks, some that i have hatched wouldnt take crickets as their first few meals and it's always good to get them started on cgd from the beginning so theres no trouble when they get older.

im gonan rmember this for when we start having eggs.. leaving it alone could turn out to be a good thing.

Hey Congrats!!!!!!!!! Glad to hear such a beauty hatched out for you!! Wow, both parents came from neoscales!! He was such a great guy, I got pringles (my super dalmatian) from him.
I would just feed him cgd for the first couple of weeks then try the pinhead crickets. You may have to show him that it is food by putting some on his nose and watching him lap it up. Make sure you check him feet every day for any of the toes being stuck together, and mist him alot!!

Hi All,

The baby is doing great and is SO cute. Here is the male....his name is Rusty. Notice how pronounced his ridges are and his crown.

Ooh, he's nice

Thanks...he is quite and handsome boy and cool thing about him is he has a great calm personality. His mate has been biting his tail (she thinks the tip is a cricket) and has done some serious damage and left his tail cut and bleeding. He never attacked her back and he has not tossed off his tail during one of the many attacks. I have her seperated right now to let her rest from three clutches of eggs and to let his tail heal. He is also a sweet guy to people and will walk on my hands once he calms down from the catch. The female is not so sweet and when I went to move her from his house to her own pad she bit me 4 times. At least it does not hurt physically....just my feelings

Wow, that's crazy.  My female is alot crazier than my male also but I've never been bit.

until a few weeks ago i have never heard of crested biting. Now it seems liek every other perosn has a mean crested that bites. Hope we can see some pic's of the parents  . Im happy the baby is doing good. Nice name for him  .
