Thought I'd share a photo of an uncommon (to say the least) Gekkonid. Although very small, they have been an enjoyable, active, "salamander-like" odd-ball species. I like how their scales share a metallic sheen with their eyes!

Very nice. How many do you have? I really like this species, I only have 2 females right now. I am waiting for a male.

They are VERY cool, Dyesub. To be honest, I've not had them long at all.

I can tell you that in the short time I've had them that they have been amazingly personable, bold little geckos active as soon as the lights kick off.

I had an incredibly rare opportunity to grab them, and did. I thought they were unique, and had never seen them offered.

I am keeping them similar to Paroedura, as advised from the seller: Mid 80's, barely moist with several cork curls and leaf litter. Judging by their hunting prowess and activity level. I'd say it suits them .

I am confident that very few if ever are to be sent out of Madagascar again.

Hey Tom ... thanks for the info. Hopefully the ones that are out there can be bred fairly easily. It would be great to see them offered on a fairly regular basis.

Best of luck keeping these beauties and getting them to breed for you!

Dyesub Dave.
