Confirm Green Eyed Gecko Species

Palor · #1 11-17-2011, 01:52 AM

My friend and I have these green eyed geckos. Both bought under the label of only Green Eyed Gecko. When questioned we were told they were G. Smithii, but are they?

Male:

Female:

Would love confirmation on what they really are if possible.

From what I've picked up from others opinions I think they are G smithii. I've noticed that the green eyed geckos that have that wierd black colored Y marking (not always just a Y, but that is what pops out in my mind when I look at their heads)on their head are typically called G smithii, where as G siamensis don't have any markings on their heads.

Granted that I don't see G siamensis often(I owned one 10 years ago) but they also seem to be much more stocky than G smithii. But this could be because all of the G smithii I've seen are fresh imports.

Someone please correct me if I am wrong(I am still trying to figure all of it out too!)

Hello,

Gekko smithi. And if you or your friend ever want to sell them, please let me know. Or, if you see any available, I'd really appreciate the heads-up.

I want to build a couple of breeding groups to add to my Tokay Hoard. You can see The Tokay Hoard at: www.billewicz.com

Thanks guys.

I have wanted Green Eyed Geckos ever since I saw one listed as a Green Eyed Tokay at the local pet store in 1986.

We found this pair in the last year. One was in WI and the other I found in Tuscon. Can't wait to get them together and get baby green eyes

Bill, we can trade babies

Cool. Have you see a blue eyed smithi?

daggekko · #6 11-17-2011, 02:02 PM

Bill are those blue eyed smithi in your collection?

Palor · #7 11-17-2011, 02:27 PM

I have seen blue eyed smithii and think it would be the best thing ever to have a few pairs

Ummm, SORRY! No I forgot to note that the blue eyed are from National Geographic photos.

Hey, have anymore information on this? I did a search real quick and came up with that either they are not a real species or they = Gekko smithi.
The picture looks like the red eye might be caused from a camera flash or lighting or something. I see a lot of green in there.
