Miliis take title from Leopards :)

[Silly-atus]

First eggs of the 2007 season honour doesn't go to the leopards for once.
Right now my milii are still being cooled, technically they still have about 2-3 weeks to go before they get warmer temperatures again. I wasn't expecting anything exciting to happen in their enclosure until late February at the earliest. Imagine my surprise when I saw Helga digging in the corner where she laid all her eggs last year (she only poops in the laying box, never put one egg in there yet).

The eggs are fertile too, nice and pink inside. I don't know if they mated while being cooled or if this is still from retained sperm, but I'm not going to complain.


Since I had the camera out, I took some pictures of one of their offspring from last year.

He's looking somewhat hypo, more so than the parents, but not as super hypo as some of the others from the same bloodline Picture from the breeder - hypo milii to die for (http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f368/1derfool/Tobbe113.jpg)

I'm still happy :)

I love milii - so cool looking, BUT....they have to be the most BORING gecko I've ever seen. Yeah, yeah, I know aurics will just sit there and stare at you for hours without moving, but at least every now and then they go crazy and kill something - a bug, a mate, etc.

But Milii - they are like that one cute blonde girl that attended my high school. Pretty but not a lot going on upstairs....

heh....

Anyway - congrats on the early Canuck eggs. I just had to rant...

Actually, I find fat-tails to be the most 'boring'. Milii at least walk around, stalk bugs and every so often hiss and bark at something outside the enclosure. Fatties just close their eyes and pretend nothing exists outside of the lifeforms in the food bowl. :D

Canuck eggs, eh? Wonder if I could call them Canadian Barking Geckos? :p

Thanks, Monte. Do us all a favour, will ya? Don't stop being yourself on this forum, you're worth the chuckles, even if they are off-topic and wild sometimes. I always look for your posts when I need a lift.

On warm nights the Fat tails just come out and stare at me while I sleep.

Sounds like your fatties need a life :p

What they think they need is waxworms . . . .
