Bought a new 60mm macro lens today and thought id try it out.

Anyone here keeping species in the Varanid genus? I used to keep Acanthurus and absolutely loved them. I would love to get more in the future. I am really interested in V. mertensi. Anyone else keeping Varanids or have any experience?

What are your opinions on keeping NA Coleonyx on sand? I have 1.2 Cvv that I am looking to put into a vivarium, and I am debating sand or paper towels. They have always been on paper towels, and are doing fine, but I am wondering how they would fair on a fine, jurrasic sand. Thanks

I need some fast. I am leaving for NC in the AM until Monday, and I just had one hatch and Ive never cared for hatchling rangei before, so I need some quick info. :)

I finally tracked down a decent picture while doing some herp conservation research, on the IRCF website. I must say that they look even more incredible then I pictured. Their color is only rivaled by L. williamsi. What a beautiful blue. Anyone over the pond keeping this beautiful species?

Ive always loved this male, and usually I have to persuade geckos for eye licking shots, but I was lucky enough to capture this on accident! enjoy!

not sure on the species, or the sex ratio, either .3 or 1.2, but they are awesome. I have them set up in a 16 cube barr cage.

Got my first egg from a female T. steuderni. She was almost protecting it, but I moved in into a small plastic suffle cup and it is incubating in the terrarium.

dont know how, but i think i cracked the shell a bit during candling, so I decided to open the shell a bit more to see if i broke the membrane, which I didnt, and I can see a fully formed rangei in there. It is alive, and responding to a light tap, so hopefully it will hatch soon. Any advice on...

what is the black dot visible when candling? this egg was laid back in July, and has been incubated at 50% humidity and approx 30C. Any info on that black dot. Id expect to see more of a gecko from an egg laid over 60 days ago, but rangei are lightly colored and transparent, so its difficult...
