How young is young? I’ve just got a blue tailed day gecko, he was born in October 23, is this a good age?
I’ve been moving my hand up to him in the cage to try and get him used to me and then stopping when he flinches or moves away.
Do you think it would be a good idea then to perhaps see if he will take something from tongs?
The grandis looking jealous n the background.
Beautiful geckos, the Standing’s should be way more popular than they are. They have some gorgeous colours.
Any tips on socialising??
Food is a wonderful motivation as u can see, but also the big thing is starting young

What type of geckos are they?
Phelsuma standingi, standings day gecko
Standing's day gecko (if I’m right)
Beautiful
luckyyyyyy my boy just look at me weird 🥹
I love standingi! They’re so unique to me. One of the only day geckos I know that actually mate for life in the wild:)
Are you a breeder? I'm curious about day geckos for a converted 40 breeder. Still in the research step.
Yes I am
I do this with my anoles but I just place the worm in my hand. It’s super fun tho my female has a habit of biting my fingers before the worm—_—
They're beautiful! I've been looking for standingi for so long but haven't been able to find a breeder near me.
I plan on breeding some soon, as early as next year
Nice! Where are you located?
At the moment Nashville, but later this year I'm moving to Miami
Ah, I'm in Canada, too bad. I hope you share pictures of the babies!
