This is hands down the most exquisite Southern African gecko.

Yeah, that is quite impressive. Any luck with reproducing the little guys?

One of my FAVORITES! Thanks so much for sharing your photos with all of us! These are one of the rarest of the Genus too...not many know how are they are to breed, not only are they hard to breed but they aren't the easiest to keep I've heard. Thanks again! These are TRUE gems, that's for sure!

Hi Ken,

Thank you for all your kind comments

There is more to come i will post pictures of the female she looks radically different.

I will say they are as rare in the wild as one would think, they just occur in a small area along the west coast. This gecko was found in close proximity within a few metres of others.

They seem to stress very easily.

With these where they come from night time temperatures in winter get very low Important they great heavy influx of dune in the evening so misting every night is essential as well as not getting to warm i do not let the cage temperature exceed 25 degrees.

Regards
