Congrats mate, you are the future of cb gecko's in this country. As BR said, now the hard part begins.
There is something that is much more scarce, something finer by far , something rarer than ability.
It is the Ability to recognise Ability

Bummer that one died, do you think it was dehydrated?

Goose it actually was slightly deformed.
Its front and back legs where straight and neither bent as well as it being extremely small had a slight kinked spine.
Sounds like a frankenstein gecko.
But i ws quite expecting to loose some 4 still to go.

That sucks! Sorry to hear that.
Do you think it had any thing to do with your incubation temperatures?
Lets hope you don't have any more deformed hatchlings.
Keep us updated.

Ah bummer dude :( , did you get any pics? was this the clutch partner of the other one? remember with this species just getting one to hatch is an achievement in itself :)
