New Scale Herpetoculture

New Scale Herpetoculture Geckos and other reptilia from around the world. (Eric Nielsen) Pretty lowkey collection these days - primarily Cordylus tropidosternum and Ebenavia.

Neither are well established in the hobby, so the vast majority of what I produce ends up going to other capable keepers with existing groups. I don't foresee much being listed publicly for a good while, but I hope to contribute to both becoming established, and will open things up to more public offerings at that time. Might be a minute.

And then there were two. Or, four?

Ebenavia hatchling #2, sibling to the one from 1.5 weeks ago, was found in with its parents tonight, which is wild - I don’t have that enclosure baby-proofed, since I’ve always pulled eggs and incubated them separately, and hatchlings are TINY. I’ve seen one escape through deli cup holes before! Kinda hard to plan around containing babies that tiny in an adult enclosure. I’ve been working with this genus since 2014, but this is the very first clutch I’ve ever missed that’s successfully hatched in with the adults.

And, to top it off, I found the next clutch nestled away under a piece of cork bark (in my experience, Ebenavia never bury their eggs).

An all-around good day for tiny brown geckos.

A lucky through-the-glass shot of one of the yearling F1 CBB Cordylus tropidosternum (“tropical girdled lizards) from last year’s litter.

Side note: I have a couple 2025 offspring that I’d be open to booking flights for, if anyone’s on the market. It looked to be a pair at last check-in, though they are full siblings. Shoot me a message if you’d like to discuss it more.
