Yep 1st one is either quadrivirgatus or pubisulcus? I could never tell those two species apart. 2nd one is definately intermedius! The 3rd looks to be a juvenile Chanhomeae. I would love to see more Cyrtodactylus chanhomeae in the hobby! Hopefully the individuals that have them are working with them and having success w/ their captive breeding efforts.

Good to see there still is an interest in the genus. Here are some more Cyrtodactylus chanhomeae pictures.
I have started the process of using egg laying boxes and doubled cage sizes for this rare species.

Beautiful chanhomeae Shane...

Wow butterfly bent toe geckos. Hav'nt seen any cyrtodactylus papilionoides in quite some time! Thanks for sharing your pics Pierre! I used to have one myself a few years ago, but he sadly past away. When I had him though, I remember the cool mating call he did at night, similar in a way to peguensis zebraicus with the high volume and number of vocalizations, 5 or 6 times in a row each time. But did not sound like a birds chirp at all. It sounded more like a duck clucking. I attached a picture of him.

Those are some cool cyrto's Pierre! I never worked with those but had seen them at a Los Angeles dealer many years ago when I was more into the Uroplatus genus. Keep us up with your success and how similar they are to the peguensis and type species.
All of my chanhomeae came in as babies to subs and in one pair a young adult, that adult actually has given me a couple dried sets (could be my lack of inspecting) and the next eldest pair gave me one infertile set recently. I hopefully will be getting some success soon, but am happy just to keep healthy for now as many of the few imports have died under captive conditions.

i only have these for a few months,so i don't know that much about them yet.

good luck with the chanhomeae, Shane.
i could have got a dozen of them here in UE since last couple of years,but finally i let them go into other hands...now i think that they will be part of "my quest" for the years to come .
i know a few are still around and a very few may probably come in also.as an example,last 6 fresh imported specimens i saw,about 6 months ago, were shipped from Malaysia into a spider shipment from a spider dealer.my papilionoides came also from that source .

jimmy;i have 3 papiolionoides and 4 peguensis males in the same room,so believe me,it is sometimes getting quite loud at night,but i do sleep heavily...

Ohh that would be so cool to listen to all of them! Its almost like having mini thailand jungle in your house! hahaha...I like the chirps, my 9 year old pegu was chirping today. He's my alarm clock! He seems to have a bit of a white cataract on one of his eyes, it started as a small white dot, but has been growing slowly over the last few years. I hope its nothing serious. He still eats good. Do you know what the life span is for peguensis? Someone once told me it was 8-12 years for females, and 15-20 years for males. Does that sound accurate to you?

Love the Cyrtodactylus peguensis. The other's also look nice, but the peguensis are really cool!
