Speaking of geckos that like to bite and run for it:





I know Pseudothecadactylus is not one of the genera listed in this forums title....but I didn't know where else to put them except with the rest of the Aussie stuff!

Very nice, used to be quite a few of these for sale but havent seen any listed for a couple of years, hope they do well for you

I´m trying to get some pair or a little group years ago but, certainly, it´s very very difficult and rare find European breeders or keepers of this wonderful animals... It´s call the Australian rhacodactylus for their prehensile tails...

P. linderi, P. cavaticus and P. australis are the tree subspecie of this genus, is´nt it??

I know a breeder in sidney have a 25 years old female... amazing!!

[TNWJackson]

Yep, those are the 3 species. I don't know anyone keeping australis or cavaticus, but lindneri are relatively common in the hobby here in Australia. I'd love to get my hands on some australis though!

The lindneri are actually really striking geckos. I only got them recently though and I haven't got any photos that do them any kind of justice yet. Whenever I open their cage door wide enough to get some unfiltered flash on them, they have an alarming tendency to try to jump out!

This one is a little better than the above photos which were taken during the day:

thanks so much to share this pics and experience...

are they 100% insectivorous???

Awesome looking geckos, Tim! I'd really like to see a Pseudothecadactylus in person. I was recently up in the Iron Range but P. australis managed to completely evade me

Hi Stephen, fancy seeing you here! I'd love to see P. australis in person myself! If you want to see some lindneri just come visit.

I am exceptionally envious of your trip to Iron Range, and all the awesome herping it looks like you've been doing since we last hung out. That Iron Range carpet is beautiful indeed, and the reason it looks like variegata is because it IS variegata .

[StephenZozaya]

I'd love to come visit! I'm thinking of heading down there when it warms up again, actually. I was even thinking of doing a trip down later this month but figured it would be better to wait until later in the year when I could do some proper herping.

Yeah, the consensus seems to be that its variegata I'm definitely pleased with seeing some different looking carpets. It still doesn't make up for the lack of greens, though!

could you possibly shed some light on the for us?

Yes, In the Mike swan book "Keeping and breeding australian lizard" said about feeding them ..."as a variety of insects are quickly and hungrily consumed. Some specimens will take pink mice and sloughed skins are also eaten..."

So, I think this animals can turn into "omnivorous" reptiles if it necessary to survive, and they could be eat some other foods like seeds, berries, ripe fruits, pollen ... They live in a tropical or semi-tropical weather with a lot of kind of plants... and I supposed that...

Is only a supposition... For that was my question...

best regards!!
