Male
Default Lygo Pics

I have been into the lygodactylus genus for over a year and they say their are over 60 species, but I have only found pics of like 3 or 4, I have a williamsi so I have seen that and kimhowelli, luteopicturatus, picturatus, capensis pakenhami, and mombasicus. so I was wondering if anyone had any pics of the others or links to them.
Thanks

Look harder, they are out there. Are you suggesting the other 50-something species don't exist because you can't find their pictures on the net?

I've got a picture of L. nigropunctatus somewhere up on the net. I've also seen pictures of at least 5 species you haven't mentioned. Not everyone has time to post (or take for that matter) pictures of the geckos they keep. I've had animals in my collection for 2-3+ yrs and never attempted getting their photo. In the words of another keeper "I'm a gecko breeder, not a photographer"...

I never said they must not exist, so you must have misunderstood me. I just figured the people that discovered them may have took pics, and I wanted to see what they look like.

I would love to see a picture of L. fischeri - can you link to what you found?

I have been looking on the net and all I can find is this picture: Lygodactylus fischeri
However who knows if this photo hasn't been photoshopped?

A bad photo I took of L. nigropunctatus:


And I know you've seen pictures of L. kimhowelli before, but most don't capture how blue these geckos can actually get:


^That was a half-grown male that wasn't fully colored up. They can get nearly cobalt blue when mature and kept warm.

While doing a google search just now for some sphaerodactylus pics, I came across some pics of lygodactylus!

wildherps.com - Ambilobe Dwarf Gecko (Lygodactylus expectatus)
wildherps.com - Western Dwarf Gecko (Lygodactylus guibei)
wildherps.com - Grandidier's Dwarf Gecko (Lygodactylus tolampyae)
wildherps.com - Scheffler's Dwarf Gecko (Lygodactylus scheffleri) (I think this one is tagged wrongly, the baby more resembles l. c. pakenhami and the adult a kimhowelli.)
