Locating eggs in a Natural Setup can be a challenge. I find that it does help add to the sense of achievement when you have eggs that are laid and incubated in situe. For me it means that i have done my 'job' in helping to recreate natural temperatures.
For P. standingi and P. klemmeri the adults, thankfully, look after their own young, so finding and removing the young of these species is not an issue. For the other species of Day Geckos ( i only keep Phelsuma species ) it is a little more of a challenge to find either the eggs or young before the adults canibalise the young, usually though they lay their eggs in the same place.

Yeah, the last two times she has laid in almost the same spot (in a different tank than this one though) so hopefully if she gets into that routine in the new tank I should be fine. |
