Przewalskii frog eyed geckos I bought last week, there like little robust Tankette's, just plowing threw, checking everything out, little tongues tasting around and pretty easy to handle, kept nice and dry, extra toasty warm, previous owner just sent me a note that they started laying eggs, they already have thrown out 6 fertile eggs in the last month or so

I've been wanting to work with Frog Eyed Gecko's for quite some time now

hi.
congratulations on the new additions.
they look very nice, but they are roborowski, not prezwalski.
it happens often that they are sold under the wrong name.
but very good looking animals

Hey,

Thanks, and a little help, because Frog-Eye's are new to me, The person I got these from, Breeds Ball Pythons, they got these five Frog-Eyes from a friend who hatched them out, but where never really told what they where, when they decided they didn't want to care for cricket feeders they put them up for sale, it was at that point in time that others who where interested in them and work with Frog-Eye's told them that they had Przewalzi's, they even had someone looking for Robo's pass on them, could you please help me in clarifying what I do have, I've seen a few pics of Przewalski's and thought they look just like mine, if they turn out to be Robo's Iam fine with that, I just want to get it right.

Joe M.

Hey,

Very nice set of pictures! but, there was nothing written about telling the difference between the two, looking close at the pictures of these two, it looks like the body scales are a bit smaller on the Przewalski than the Robo's

I understand, youve told me there Roborwski, is there a reason why you can't tell or show me what the difference is between Pzrewalski and Roborwski? so I know?

I agree they are robrowski. Looking at bcreptiles photos its easy to see how they are different. The prezwalski has smooth scales from head to the back side of there front arms. Were robrowski have smooth scales just to the back of the head. The over all size difference between robrowski and prezwalski is pretty good(you need side by side comparison to be able to see that). Scalation, robrowski are much large over lapping scales were prezwalskis are smaller and dont over lap as much.

Hey,

Thanks for helping me, looking at his pic's the only thing I saw that was a bit different where the body scale sizes, I'm not sure about the head scales, I'll read more about that, the Robrowski's are more commonly known as Tibetan, correct? These guys are alot of fun to watch, after the lights are turned down
