One of Inochi's eggs hatched, and the baby gecko is just adorable! It's right front foot appears to be malformed as it keeps folding under when the poor little thing walks, but it doesn't appear to slow her down at ALL. She's still spunky as ever, running around all over the cage.
Here's some pictures!!

...:D AWWwww she's such a cutie!
Thank you! :D
Congrats! :)
What a cutie!
What gorgeous markings! Just one egg? Are there any reptile vets that could put a tiny splint on the baby's leg by chance, or is it something that will remedy itself in time? Maybe egg cramps lol?
I'll see if it straightens out - I just went up to check on her a bit ago and she was sleeping - the foot had righted itself. We'll see if it keeps bending back, but she's far too small and delicate for a splint. The splint would have be be like less than a quarter of an inch long... probably more like 1/8 inch...Quote:

And there were two but one was infertile.
There's still 4 more in the incubator... And all baby geckos have this color pattern - it changes as they get older though, so she won't be banded like this forever.
:)
Is there any way to get a picture with a coin next to her for size comparison? She looks big to me but I'm sure she's not!!
She's SO pretty! Very cute! Is she soft, or does she have that bumpy skin like on adult geckos?
Aww, she is so cute. Congratulations on the new addition. :)
What a darling baby!!!!! :) Congratulations!!! :D
What a CUTIE!! Congratulations!
Aaaww what a cutie! Congrats on the newbie!
I did not know that they were all born like that, even the albinos?
that is neat!
How big is a baby gecko? Do you have a comparative picture?
Well the albinos have the bands, but they're a lot lighter, so you can tell they're albinos. They're more light yellow and pinkish white than yellow and black like this one.
Anyway, here are some more realistic size comparison shots of her sitting next to a dime.

it won't let me delete this one. I edited the first one but it posted it here as a quote. Is this a bug on the board?
Hmm... Please delete this one post. Thanks.
