Good looking animal! I've never seen such red eyes in Naultinus before - thanks for sharing.

Hi Yuri ~

I am enroute to my North Oregon Coast home tomorrow, 3 Dec 2009, with all my critters thanks to the most generous assistance of Jenn and now others from the Pacific Northwest Herpetological Society. I truly hope that I can live there for the rest of my life . My home was actually built with a pair of Naultinus or Hoplodactylus in mind! Really! I feel that I would be the luckiest person in the world if somehow, someday a pair of Naultinus or Hoplodactylus of breeding age appeared on my doorstep. I realize that it takes $$$$ to make this happen, but all I need are two suitable outdoor cages, the second for the offspring. The temps in my new location are very appropriate for these two species and the humidity will be even greater than Seattle.

One question I have for you though. Do you know whether bringing them inside to say 60 F temps would be hard on them should the temps drop below ~38 F or rise above ~82 F? Temps near freezing or above the low 80s do not happen too frequently there.

Looking forward to your reply!

Liz,

You're leaving us here in WA? pout, pout. Oh well you're not too far away. Of all the things I've read about Naultinus its much better to let it be a bit colder then too hot. Now that doesn't mean you stick them in the freezer and just thaw them out in the spring. hehehe(gecko on a stick!)

Elizabeth, count me in on the Naultinus project! I love love love these geckos, they are absolute stunners and I love that we have a climate thats easy to keep them outdoors for part of the year. I would love to get these guys captive breeding in the States!

Hello Elizabeth,
Unfortunatelly I'm not big expert in this species and as I think here is more people who can give more correct answer on your question. I just can say how I have keep mine specimen. The day temperatures from March until December is 20-25C at the day and 15-19C at the night. From the end of December until middle March the temperatures are 6-12C at the day and at the night they drop until 4-6C (not all times).
Regards,
Yuri

hello elisabeth - hello yuri,

well i agree with yuri at the winter temperatures - below 10 degrees celsius at night and little bit warmer at day. but in summer the temperature 20 to 25 degrees celsius is to cold . i keep them in summer up to 30 degrees celsius and for few hours more at hot days. some days of the year the temperature goes over 35 degree - that´s no problem for them - when they can go in a plant where is no sunshine and a little bit colder temperature also you must give them more water so they can cool down... the most important thing is that the night temperature is colder. when you keep them always at 20-25 degrees in summer - you will have no babies..... it´s also when you have an gravid female - look she will sit under the lamp to warm up.....

Hello Mario,
Thanks for information. Yes, you are right that 25-30C is very good day temperature for female, but unfortunatelly now I have just the male that reason why I have wrote about.
