Another very cool species that are extremely easy to keep.
They are a Partho species so no males are needed for reproduction.
Typical rapashy/invert diet.
And they can get cannabilistic with the young at times.

So females just breed themselves, eh? That's quite interesting...

Ive always found that very interesting as well.

Im just hoping human females dont figure this out. Then we're all dead meat. They can train monkeys to open jar lids and kill spiders. Then what do they need us for? *shudder*

:lol:

The house geckos in Hawaii were the same. No male needed. I had a HUGE one that lived behind my refrigerator and she would come out at night and bark (what I call it anyway). She wasnt scared of people either. If I walked into the kitchen and turned the light on she would look at me like "Hey! Turn the light off! My eyes are sensitive!". I found many of her eggs in the cabinet above the fridge and put them on the patio to hatch. The eggs were a little bit bigger than a bb.
