Default Found Bigfoot! Ok not really but found something cool.

So I was driving home from Kennedy Meadows and Desert banded Gecko was laying in the middle of the road. I named him Kennedy

From all the hours of research Ive done on him he is Coleonyx variegatus variegatus, and a Male. I used to catch and release these guys a lot when I was younger, I grew out of reptiles, and just this year got back into it. I absolutely LOOOOOVE reptiles, wish I could work with them for a living.....Maybe sometime I will start collecting rare Geckos....for now I have 12, and a EGG wich I dont think is gunna make it. Last Night I built a pretty decent incubator, and I think the temps stabilized at 83' I was shooting for 82.....will adjust and monitor it. I have 2 females that appear Gravid. A few snakes....11 to be exact, and 2 Uromastyx's.

Hey,

congrats to your collection of reptiles. This little male variegatus you found looks really cool.

Good luck with breeding your reptiles and keep us posted when you hatch some little monsters...

Damm it, why don't they walk the roads in Holland???
I'm looking everywhere to find Coleonyx geckos in each and every reptile store, and in Amerika, they just cross the road...

Good luck with Kennedy!!
Greetings,

There's a guy on the forum from Oz that regularly catches Phyllurus platurus and releases them under his house to keep the spiders down....... it's all about location!
