Just thought I would share a quick pic of what is in my humble opinion THE most beautiful gecko in the world.No,the specimen isn't mine(wishful thinking),the pic was "borrowed" from New Zealand's Terra Nature website.Enjoy!

Crazy fan of Rhacodactylus,Dierogekko,Hoplodactylus,Bavayia,Oed odera,Naultinus,Saltuarius,Phyllurus,Uroplatus

The herringbone pattern typical of this taxon really is interesting(jaw dropping even).As for anyone working with this species...not legally!!!This species is the crown jewel of an already highly coveted,frequently smuggled gecko fauna.New Zealand is very strict when it comes to protecting it's wildlife,just as Australia is.Some view it as ridiculous,over the top,and unecessary,but I see it's merit.I'm sure someone out there has em',but again not legally(ie. not without permits from N.Z. DOC,which aren't granted to just any gecko fanciers).They really are nice though!!!

Sorry I didn't specify.I did ask to use the pic.I "borrowed" as opposed to "stole" the image.Check out the Terra Nature website,it's very informative!

I don't know if those are out and about outside NZ, I'm pretty sure some of the South Island Naultinus species are in private hands, but that species is from the southern part of Stewart Island which is off the tip of the S. Island, I believe it is considered the southernmost found gecko species in the world. Definitely one of those that I'd sell my soul to get ahold of. LOL

Wow...just wow.

If I remember it correct, a forummember already posted a picture off this species once. It was even a bit more red than this one is.
One drop dead gorgeous gecko.....
Kind regards,
