Hatchling Update September 18th 2017

Our hatchling racks are at near full capacity.  The way we handle new leopard gecko hatchlings is we leave them be and allow them to eat and grow for at least 2-3 months.  These early months are crucial to their development and health.  Gecko hatchlings that don’t eat well early on could develop metabolic bone disease (MBD), or other physical developmental issues such as being smaller and underdeveloped.  This is why even though we know people are eager to purchase these cute baby geckos, we do our best to not bother them too much during the first few months.

But as promised, we know folks like to see more gecko pictures.  We have plenty of hatchling pictures to share with you during this hatchling update.  First we’d like to show you a couple of before & after pictures.  Here’s a radar female born on 7-3-2017:
