Default Sexual Dimorphism in Sumatrans

Here are a few more pictures of my new Sumatrans. From the group I have it appears that there is sexual dimorphism between the sexes. We'll have to wait until we have a few captive bred babies and see if they exhibit the same traits.

All of my Males have a full or almost full well defined back stripe, while the females have no stripe at all or a very thin one.

I noticed that the Cat Geckos from Borneo are very similar to the Sumatrans and I was wondering if they show the same characteristics.

Anyways here are a few pics of 3 males first:

He bought them all so that none of the rest of the experienced cat gecko keepers could have a chance to work with them

hahaha do I read hate on that message Ethan? I bought them all to make sure that I had a good number of bloodlines, and since they were only some females available I wanted to make sure that I had a few in case some of them didn't make it.


Thanks.

Congrats! I hope you have great luck with these guys and can offer some CBB to the public in the coming years! Are they frequently importing these guys?

Thanks Armen. I was really looking forward to working with some locale specific Cat Geckos. I already have a few 'unknown Locale' cats and they have been doing great for me, I have a few babies from them and some eggs incubating.

As far as I am aware this was the first shipment ever of Sumatran Cat Geckos. Some breeders in Europe have the green eyed ones from Borneo that are very similar to these, but Borneo and Sumatra are quite a distance apart. I'm sure there are differences between them, but I haven't been able to get any detailed information about the ones from Borneo.
