Well, I did it again. I have another successfully hatched baby golden gecko.
This one was laid April 6th, hatched today.
Because the mother laid the egg on the side of the glass aquarium I had to tape a small plastic cup (or in this case a empty sour cream container
) over the egg to keep them from accidentally cracking it. This was also to keep the little one from getting out into the aquarium where the parents may eat it!...
When I discovered the hatched egg but no baby I panicked, it had wiggled out and was loose in with the adults. Luckily I found it on the cage lid and easily collected it into a critter keeper.
Tiny little thing at roughly 5cms from nose to tail tip.
Baby gecko belly. This is what I keep them in until they're older, a 6 quart shoe box.. fancy
Since I was cleaning up and moving around stuff I went ahead and moved this one's big brother into a spare 10gallon. My luck, I torn a finger open on some wire while shaking water out of some freshy washed fake plants.
