What kind of proof are you looking for? It's stated right in the book by Repashy, Fast and deVosjoli that they can attain lengths of 17 inches overall. It also says this on Phillipe deVosjoli's website (GiantGeckos.com). I don't think any of these three men would be making false statements about such a thing.

I have got information from one person that he have seen on Rapashy's website information that Philip's type C growth more and now have total lenght 50 cm ...
Ofcourse I have Philippe, Frank and Allen's book about Rhacodactylus and I have seen the pictures of this giant female, but maybe somebody have new information?
No problem, I can ask Allen or Phil Tremper...
Thanks

have

I know Allen repashy has recently produced a baby, here's the thread. Type C Hatchling - Gecko Resource Forums.
But I think there isn't much more info, just the book, but some people in Italy say they have type C animals. Massimo Zanni had some for sale some time ago.

Hi Yuri,

I heard that they are 49 cm long. I think when you contact Philip Tremper you will get an answer and with some luck perhaps a baby or 2 of this giants. I know from an Italian forum that they are some baby type C in Italy that were shipped from Philip. Here is the link to the thread: Rachodactylus leachianus leachianus GT type C - Rhacodactylus

Greets,

Tim

Hi everybody, I'm one of the lucky italians geckophile that keep one (0.1) of the trio R.l.l. GT type C with Massimo Zanni (he keep the male and our friend, another member of Gekkonidae-Breeders, the other female). My female is about 1 year old and her lenght is 20cm. Hope this help you...
