    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I acquired an unrelated pair of the above from Steve McNarey about 5 months ago, I have kept them together since they arrived. They seem to be doing great, fed on crickets, lots of termites, ff's and the occaisonal wax and phoenix worm (they don't seem to like the last 2 but the wax moths...a different story). Here is their 24" wide x 20" deep and 36" High tank, and then the femalke and male. Really neat animals.
 
Thanks, I mostly keep dart frogs and day geckos but had a big terrarium that got a lot of air flow so I thought I would give them a try...and a year later success. A good friend of mine in Ft Myers got me interested in them, he let me take care of a couple of his baby Moi River while he travelled (sadly they were lost to ants shortly after his return) and I was hooked. They seem to be fairly easy to sex, at least the previous 2 I took care of seemed sexable at 2 months old.
If you ever get down this way you are welcome to stop by and see my set up and animals though my collection is pretty small these days. And if you want to give them a try I will give you a sweet deal....that is if you want to come down out of the hills of Brookesville into the flat lands of Manatee county :)
 
I admire your success with them (and so soon to boot). I was drawn to them last year when they were posted for sale, as I am quite fond their smaller size as well as their color schemes and scale structures. I decided to hold off because I was then (and am now) still adjusting my primary project colonies, but that is one of the projects I am keeping in the back of my mind for down the road (depending on how current stuff shakes out). Thanks.
 
Nice babies.

Do you ever plan to try brumating any of them? I have found accounts of that to be interesting (although I am sure it would give me significant anxiety to execute).
 
My day geckos, since kept outside I consider them going through brumation (though 90 degree days in December created a couple of Borbonica clutches) but these guys are inside and though usually 8 - 10 degrees cooler many days I would not consider that a real "off season", I do feed a bit less now. I actually put them both outside today and without trying to humanize animals I could tell they loved it, I may as well as given them towels and a lawn chair. I also put the baby container outside on sunny days for an hour or 2 and they stay the same as the parents, in the sun resting with little to no movement, while all have the opportunity to find shade.
I like you love the dwarf species of animals...Egyptian tortoises have always been on my wish list, and I love reading up on the micro geckos and even the dwarf tarantula's. A long time ago I was lucky enough to have some Myniobates out of Colombia and Costa Rica with the Amphibian ARK project (the Costa Rican animals that is), they were so cool...with the husbandry and supplements of today I am sure I would be breeding F3's and 4's of those today but sadly tons of eggs produced no babies.

Thanks Nick but the first hopeful pair I gave to a friend of my son, he had to spend about $400 to get his set up and supplies going so off they went this weekend and he is super stoked....hopefully another convert :) The other 3 will go to some friends as well, just people who i know can take care of them and more importantly good people who do the right thing. The next litter i will sell and advertise at about 10 weeks of age, she is once again getting big.
