Pictus Geckos

Does anyone here keep or breed Pictus Geckos?

After reading about them in Reptiles Magazine I purchased 4 of them at the Daytona Expo. I think they are adorable and I was wondering if anyone has experience with them and knows any tricks of the trade.


Pics to follow shortly...

I have had them on and off for a number of years. Great little geckos, very lively and fun to watch. A few pointers -

Keep males separated, they fight violently.
Give the females 4 months of the year away from males, as they will breed to death.
Babies can and will climb glass. Common knowledge says they won't, but they do. Especially in the corners where they can grip the silicon in an all glass aquarium.
Phoenix worms or butterworms are a great food for the females during breeding season. They really need lots of calcium. So much that it's not unheard of for them to suffer tail kinks and other signs of MBD while laying.
Be prepared for the hatchlings. Lots and lots and lots of hatchlings.

Cool little geckos...looking forward to the pics.
