Just joined this forum to gain more knowledge about the Australian species. I just purchased this Male S. Taenicauda from Derek at DDReptiles. I don't have him in person yet, but will post more pics of the Viv and him once I have in person. Here are a few pics Derek sent me of him.

Hello!

A few wonderful animals, congratulations for the purchase.

I am interested in this one kind and in this one spice overcoat. Do they know some card on this precious animal?

I would like to ask if the color of the eyes is for different locations or to the selective baby.

Regards and graces.

I am not sure about exactly all you are asking....but as far as the eyes go, it is a rare trait if you will and some offspring have white eyes and some have red eyes. It has nothing to do with the location.

Ok, thanks, it is what he was asking.

Regards.

So you're the one that got that sexy gecko. I am hoping to add this species to my collection this year. Congrats, and post tons of photos when you get him.

yea I almost didn't get him because I was a little tight on extra money, but I couldn't let him pass and new they are hot on the market and sometimes hard to come by so I bit the bullet and snatched him up. Setting up the viv now. Will post pics once I have him for sure!

Alright so I have started to mess around with the enclosure for this guy(since I should have him in another week), and this is what I have done so far....

I still am thinking about what I want to do for the background and want to do a little more as far as a perch up in the top left for a basking area....anyone else have any recommendations that would be good for this species?!?
This tank I am using is a 20H, so I have split it down the middle to probably house another type of Strophurus or maybe the same species.....or might use it to separate male from female during the off season(or is that necessary?) So the dimensions are 12x12x16.5

Thanks
Chris
