anyone have Bauers Chameleon Geckos?

[ColleenT]

i am hoping to get a few in a few years from now. A friend just started a breeding program with hers.

i used to raise and breed Crested geckos, and these have very similar care, and are smaller so you can fit more in a smaller space.

I don't have any but I have crested geckos they look really cool how many are you planning on getting

i ordered 2 babies. Eventually i'd like to have a male and a female but they are small enough that i can let these grow up and see what i have. Then i can order an adult male or female if necessary. But for now just want to hand tame them and see how they do. also i have read different things about the UVB light. Just like Cresteds, they really don't need it, but some people provide it anyway.

they arrived today. So tiny. you can't tell from pics but these babies are like 1.5 inches from tip of snout to tip of tail. Maui is older, but Oahu is more adventurous.

AWESOME!!!! That's so cool
Where did you get them from

 

[ColleenT]

Jecko's Geckos on FB. There is also a fb group where they are sold, called Eurydactylodes.

i like these little guys so much, i ordered a breeder pair. they should arrive next week. In the meantime, i had a 20 gallon tall tank, so i divided it and made 2 enclosures for them. the great thing about them is they don't need a ton of room. It is recommended that a trio live in a 12x12x18h exo-terra. Well now that i have divided this tank, i have 2 enclosures that are 12x12x16h. my babies are in one side and my adults can live in the other side. They prefer a lot of vines and they are arboreal, so there are a bunch of vines in there.

babies getting a drink after i misted them. Remember they are still less than an inch long, snout to vent.

No, i am getting the adults from a girl who is pregnant and looking to donwsize her geckos. They are supposed to come on thursday. Longest week ever!! the adults themselves are old enough to breed now, but never have. she kept them in their own enclosures.

That's cool I'll be your first customer post pics once you get them the babies look awesome so the adults probably look even cooler

 

[ColleenT]

they look pretty similar, a bit prehistoric. But they are pretty cool to watch. i wonder if there will be color morphs, years down the road. it seems that happens a lot. For now, i just like them bc they are not all crazy, you can hold them, and they don't jump out of your hands. They are small, so you can keep them in a smaller enclosure than most reptiles.

Yes that's nice
