If you wanted to keep geckos in Gauteng -BV: you say they are considered game - what does that mean in terms of getting/keeping them? What are the above board steps one would follow to keep them?

thanks

Get an import permit from natal for the geckos that you want. Easiest option and it is above board. If they dont have the geckos you want in Natal then donate the geckos to them first.

Hello guys!
Long time haven't been here.

What are You feeding your litoria pictured on avatar with?

Primary feeding is a crickets (Gryllus assimilis), but also she doesn't decline Zophobas morio, cockroaches (Nauphoeta cinerea, Punchlora nivea). And I want to feed her a newborn mice at soon.

Hi mikhail,

Firstly as i'm sure you've noticed,P.punctatus are incredibly quick and after 2 years in captivity mine lost its tail from trying to escape and having me run around after it frantically so be aware of that!

Other than that I keep them on fine sand with a place to hide like rocks or bark. I provide a dish of t-rex bone aid calcium and a shallow waterbowl at all times.

As far as feeding goes they have crickets as their staple diet with termites which they relish whenever given the chance and small meal worms are also taken greedily.

They are very timid and easily spooked so work carefully and cautiously around them. I did have a female lay eggs once but incubaton was unsuccessful.

Hope that helps,
Regards Trayton

I am not af fan of wild caught things ,but i think you can help me. I founD marbeld leaf toed gacko eggs. Plese go look at my Question in the gecko forum "wild gecko eggs" . Great collection. I think I should get a bibron. Maybe save it from my granpa (he kills all reptiles). he lives on a farm in Springbok. Just imagine how many get killed

Sorry for this Francois. i have a trio of ocellated geckos and am having trouble feeding them.they sometimes take crickets and small flies.i there anything else i can give them that isnt fast(they arent the chasing type of gecko) and something that is good for them,and easy to get/breed. Thanks and sorry for stealing the post.

Hi ales you could try small mealworms as my geckos take those readily, just a word of caution they shouldn't be fed as the staple as they are hard to digest. They should be able to take crickets, how big are the geckos? post pics

[Ales]

They're the same as the ones at the beginning of the post.
I have a trio,2 females,1 male.Both have laid eggs but nothing has hatched yet.
Still waiting

Pythonodipsas what is the state of your gecko collection at present i realise this is super old topic.
Ales fruit flies will work well plus they are free! For the smaller geckos try stay away from mealworms as staple as scavenger said.
You can try small roaches but they can be super quick too.
Ales get us some pictures already

if somethings too quick slow them down....cut some legs off or pop them in the fridge for a minute
