On to my cyrtodactylus, heres the only picture I have uplaoded of one of my C. breviplamatus, I do have more images but I've not got round to ever uplaoding them anywhere, if anyone is interested in seeing more of them i can upload a few more... have some great pictures I may just upload later anyway lol.



Hope that image is a nice sign of thigns to come for me to upload soon lol. I am hoping to get some cyrtodactylus louisiadensis at some point too... have fallen totally in love with this family

Looks like an elok to me, I am so confused with these two

[gecko-kus]

Lol yeah me too

Baught it as brevipalmatus, and part of the reason for posting the picture is to see if anyone corrects me lol, the elok does look just like it

8 years ago I received 3 pairs of Brevipalmatus.They are completely different color and pattern wise.They were much more subtle in color,like a dull brick color,and smaller.No visible pattern,other than around the head.Elok,like you have,are much more vibrantly colored and patterned.Larger also.There is taxonomic work in process that includes 2 other species into a four ssp. complex,still to be clarified.That complex includes these 2 geckos.

If you look at a previous post of Brevis.. they are also ones that I believe to be Eloks.. anyone else have an opinion..

Everyone else keeps on saying that one has femoral pores, that seems to be the only factor that has been officially described to date?

Keep us up to date on that study of the four ssp. complex. I just want to breed them Marcus, you can have all my data for your book and my business if you get any

[Afelinus]

No prob,I know this will get me some negative response,but only a few people will ever see these.On another note,getting a few pairs of masobe in,and gracilis

[Bowfinger]

WoooHoooo! Count me in on those as well.

[kenya_1977]

oh really. wow

Back to the Eloks , They do look consistent in pattern when someone has the same source, so I can see different species or at least sub-species worth keeping bloodlines seperate. I look forward to those and other Cyrtodactylus being understood better, even though the lack of information is mysteriously enjoyable!
