Lovely geckos.
The P.m.latirostris is beautiful.
Can i ask is it WC?

As it pains me to see coming from South Africa seeing NC locality geckos in oversea's markets as there is ZERO quota for export which means they are smuggled out of South Africa. Here in South Africa one cannot legally keep 99% of the pachys for this exact purpose.

Hi roby!
I'll tell you here too: well done, they are all wonderful!

the genus Pachydactylus is spreading in Italy, but I'm especially glad that there are other P. mariquensis latirostris, of different localities!

the last and my favorite.

No is CB!!!
It's not nice to increase the illegal market, but my conscience is in place the origin of these geckos is certain!!!!

As most of us know, probably 50% of the geckos in the hobby come from "shady" backgrounds, but being serious gecko keepers, i feel it is our duty to purchase these animals in hopes to start breeding colonies therefor eliminating the need for anyone to want to take them from their natural environment. No, i do not endorse smuggling by any means, but when a species does show up on the market, what are we to do? Let it die in the hands of an inexperienced money driven "smuggler", or purchase what we can to set up "legitimate" breeding groups??
That being said, these geckos are 100% CB, as are the parents.
