I've always wanted these cuties. Parthenogenesis has been such a fascinating topic to me. I picked this topic in as many papers as I possibly could in college!
If you set up an enclosure with temperate springtails (folsomia candida), dwarf white isopods and mourning geckos, you'll have an enclosure full of ladies! I set up one a few weeks ago, and upon further research realized that they're all parthenogenic 😂
Great video! How long does it take for the eggs to hatch? I have a pair of eggs on day 105... They look great, nice and plump but no hatch yet😅
Interesting. Apparently mine are the "yellow belly" ones. I have 2 that I got in April. No lives babies yet because at first they were eating them. Now I have to keep moving them every time I find eggs if i find them before they are eaten. I have 1 egg I saved the end of July but it wasn't hatched yet. I am curious what candling an egg about to hatch looks like because the "liquid" seems like it's gone, the veins are gone - it now looks like a dark shadow taking up 1/2 the egg but I saw it moving so I know it's still alive.
sooo, did the egg end up hatching
@@LauraLopez-ge2vl Yes, shortly after I made this post. She's been going and doing well. I now have 2 more due to hatch any time :)
@@Loviekinz I know this is 1/2 a year old, but how long did it take to hatch? I have an egg I can candle and I've had it for ~2 months. It's probably got 1/2 to 1/3 of the liquid left and I see a large dark mass occasionally moving inside as well as 1-2 MUCH darker spots that I assume are eyes and have been plainly visible for most of the incubation. Excited for my first babies
@@BriceLijewski My eggs on average seem to take about 4 months to hatch with my house being around 73/74F and just keeping eggs at room temp. I did have a set of eggs hatch in 3 months when kept 75/76F - if you are using the candle method the eggs will look like they have 0 liquid left, and just a dark spot(the baby) before they hatch. And also before they hatch the outter shell starts to discolor a bit/you can see a grey/black color on it. I usually mark the day they are laid and count 120 days to get a rough idea if when they will hatch, though my longest took 134 days.
Just fyi, if you haven't heard about this method, I've had success putting tubes (ie hollow bamboo tubes, toothbrush travel tubes, film canisters, seru pods, etc.) into my mourning gecko enclosure for them to lay their eggs in. I check them for eggs every few days and if there are any, I just take them out and put them in a smaller enclosure so the adults don't eat them when they hatch. They don't always use the removable tubes but it's easy to remove some of the eggs this way :P Another thing I do is put a little wet sphagnum moss in the bottom of some of them, as I find they tend to lay their eggs in areas with more moisture.
I have never seen some one this nervous 😞 poor guy
It was pretty rough. Thank god my public speaking has improved since then 🥲
He did SO much better than I would have.
Have you guys ever made a video on setting up a cage for these guys?
edit: *gals?
My geckos are active all the time.
How many frogs and mourning geckos to tank size? As I’m assuming 12x12 cube wouldn’t be enough for a group of each to cohabit? Thanks ☺️
Do you ship to Canada?
I've never been more disappointed a guy wasn't named Josh than at the beginning of this video.
I was sure he was going to say, My name is Josh
When will the the Amazon milk frog be back in stock?
Do these variations occur naturally? Or were these imports captured from their respective localities?
The variations, or locales, occur naturally. Josh's Frogs doesn't sell wild caught reptiles. Like many other reptiles, the original mourning geckos in captivity likely got a ride on cargo for a plane or boat to spread to non-native areas.
The variations occur through mutations or "mistakes" in the copying process of the DNA when the original single celled new egg is being created. So these variations could happen at anytime!!
@applet-es6vp If you want to keep finding new varieties, no. Not a bad idea. Think of it in the similar vein of a cat's coat pattern. A dog's spots or patches. German shepherd coat patterns are from generations of identical coats bred, whereas a mutt will vary much more dramatically
Do you think that a mourning gecko could cohab with a couple hourglass frogs?
Hey man, you didn't get a reply to this (I wouldn't suspect you would from their YT comments), but I'd say no. One of the (potentially biggest) reasons that dart frogs and these cohabitate so well is due to the nature of their opposing daytime activity. Poison Dart Frogs are diurnal and Mourning Gecko's are nocturnal. Their easy going temperaments, plus the fact they're not super active at the same time helps out a lot. Hourglass Tree Frogs are nocturnal as well, and I'd wager that may introduce potential risks of aggression.
Adding to what Sam said here another big reason Darts and Mournings work well is that mournings are arboreal while darts are terrestrial
Are there any tiny frogs that can eat Crested Gecko Diet?
Hello! Yes, Dart Frogs can occasionally enjoy Repashy or Pangea Crested Gecko Diet especially when they are housed with Mourning Geckos!
@@JoshsFrogs Thanks for replying :) But are the any amphibians who can live completely on Repashy or Pangea?
@@wcdeich4 Unfortunately, no, that wouldn't work very well. Amphibians need movement to be interested in their food.
@@JoshsFrogs I understand, just curious. Some day in the future when I get more money I'd like to get some mourning geckos, probably won't be able to do amphibians bc the family is just not going to tolerate feeder insects inside the apartment
@@wcdeich4 there are aquatic frogs if you really wanted a frog .but maybe go for a gecko
Do you ship to the uk? May I ask
Unfortunately, we are unable to ship animals internationally.
@@JoshsFrogs dahm thanks tho
You can find loads of hatchlings on Preloved in the uk (just got some myself the other day from a guy in Wolverhampton). You can set what area you want to look for them too on that website 🙂
@@xfunkymonkeyx yeah I usually go on there! That's for the suggestion tho!!
@@doomguy7565 ah right, I thought you meant you couldn’t find them in the UK as you asked if they shipped from USA which you can’t get that sort of thing from other countries unless you pay for private couriers which can cost hundreds if not thousands sometimes due to the amount of care they would need getting from one country to another safely and efficiently 🙂☮️.
Do you already have some?
