On this subject, an interesting observation today with introducing a male pulchellus into a females cage. He was of a different local if that matters at all, it was to see if these cross. Well, he was placed on a cork bark flat situated on a 45 angle. The female was upside down on the opposite side, out of sight and contact. The male settled for maybe 5 minutes before chirping consistently and walking over and under twords the female. They came face to face and licked each other with mouths half open to lick insides of mouth! I few twitches of her tail then they both moved back away from each other without anymore interest.
Maybe I am leaving something out but that sure is amazing how he found her so easily.

I know for a fact that male C. peguensis calls because there is a sound clip on Gekkota.com.
When i move my female she stood hersef up as tall as possible and chirped away! obviously a ditress/warning call..
I am trying to source a pair in the uk but looks like i may have to travel to europe to obtain a pair..
I have actually heard that C. intermedia will cross with C. pulchellus..persoally i prefer non-crossed geckos as to keep them as 'pure' as possible and avoid ID problems..

It was not actually the call that suprised me but the use, as if he already sensed her around the corner for some reason. As for the peguensis, they are as loud as a chirping bird and can wake you up from a dead sleep, very impressive. I have a handful of males and sometimes here them going back and forth. I also noticed different calls for different reasons in intermedius, pulchellus and in peguensis.
As for the cross of intermedius/pulchellus if you can find any pictures that would maybe help me ID my "Spotted" Intermedius. He looks to have the unusual spots, but also holds traits as to being a cross, but from the wild.
