Felt like taking a few pictures of them. Hope you enjoy. They have been growing quite vigorously I have to say. It's been a pleasure keeping and watching them as they mature.

I do have to say, they weren't at all hard to keep like I was expecting. I was extremely worried asking so many questions and it seems that these are just little tanks...they are both very unique geckos to work with.

The male Pachydactylus rugosus




The female Pachydactylus rugosus that has some high contrast...


The other female Pachydactylus rugosus who's lighter in color...


Have a good weekend!

Really niec geckos Ken, what are your other oculatus like?

[crestedtimm]

They are such little tanks!

What I am wondering is as to whether or not everyones animals lighten up like crazy sometimes, or are most dark all the time?

Seems like I always see two-tone animals in pics. Is this because everyone take pics of them during the day? Seems my animals start to darken once I disturb them, but there are a few that are markedly light.

Pictures are of three diff. specimens, two are usually really light, and the third is a dark phenotype specimen.

I really really really like these guys, they have everything you want in a pet gecko.

Nice animals, Ken.

Very nice Ken.

Do you know localities for your P.rugosus?
As well as the Pachydactylus oculatus?

P.oculatus is so variable here in South Africa
