Just spoke my brother who's a bit of a lizard fan - one of his Geckos laid 14 (I think he said) eggs at the weekend - two have hatched but disappeared (apparently eaten by Mom or Dad - they do this it seems) but rest of the eggs moved and live healthy Gecko hatched today!

Hopefully will be able to provide pic's soon. It's like becoming an uncle all over again smile

Don't know, IIRC his parents are quite mottled but more of the lighter colour you see, do lizards shed after hatching? I've no idea but will ask next time I speak.

ahh chit-chat's ... they crap everywhere but are useful for culling mosquito's ... probably have hundreds of them crawling around the house, although one of our dogs thinks they are great sport to catch!!!

Fast suckers though smile

Crested yes, and I'm not sure what he feeds them - I know Bro' keeps have live crickets as feed but he has more than one type of lizard.
