Male
Default 1st Coleonyx (mitratus)

Ok, picked this pair up this weekend, and just needed opinions on that I do have C.mitratus.
1st pic is the female, for sure mitratus


Male, is there a Spotted form?



Thanks for your help and thanks for looking!
They're neat little geckos, very nippy too!

Clint,

I have kept many C. mitratus over the years (2007 was my last year working with them). That spotted variety seems to be less common but is not rare. I personally like the spotted pattern and the occasional striped variety better than the more common banded pattern but it's only personal preference. Adult wild caught specimens tend to be very nippy and don't like to be handled. The cb hatchlings are less nippy and will tolerate more handling than wild caught adults.

Have fun with them!

Well here's an update of the best kind I guess
Female was gravid when I got her, and found this when I peeked in the 'bator this afternoon.

Congrats!
Very nice looking. I´m waiting for mine to hatch. They´re still cooking....
More eggs are on the way any day now it appears. I just love the bandeds. All of them, and mitratus is no exception
