Hi guys, anyone of you have any idea about pictus genetics? I just hatched out a striped pictus baby from normal x striped parents and unless the normal parent is het for the stripe I figured it has to be a dominant trait. Do any of you know anything about the genetics behind the various...

When my H triedrus eggs started to hatch a few weeks back I noticed that a few of them had a distinctly more "reddish" color than the others which reminded me more of the parents in regard to pattern and coloration. I just didn´t think of it any more until a few days ago when it struck me that...

I bought some D siamensis at the Hamm show and got a fairly good advice on how to keep them and have seen a few webpages with images and a little text on how they are being kept. Anyone have more experience and better advice on how to keep those funny little guys? Temps, space, furnishings...

While feeding my geckos yesterday evening I heard a very loud calling and I managed to localise it to the Tropiocolotes terrarium where I keep 3.3 T persicus. Is this a common behaviour or is it simply a territorial call? Or is it a sign of a beginning mating season? The calls were louder than...

Hi everybody. I just got my hands on 3.3 Tropiocolotes that are said to be T helenae. What do you think? Is that correct? To the best of my limited knowledge it is correct but there are some people here with a lot more knowledge so I thought it better to ask :)

I have a chance of obtaining either a pair of Holodactylus africanus or a number of Tropiocolotes helenae. All animals are likely(almost 100% sure) to be WC and seems to be in a pretty good shape. Having no previous experience with either species i feel a little divided in how I should do as I...

Two pictures of my C mitratus and C elegans Coleonyx elegans Coleonyx mitratus I´m definitely a fan of eyelid geckos. Beautiful, easy to care for and have a great peronality.

Trying to find a good caresheet I saw several pictures of animals that were supposed to be S petrii. Some of them looked like my (I suppose) S petrii, but some didn´t. So what do you guys say? Are my animals S petrii or something else?

Anyone have some good info on this species? It might be possible for me to get my hand on some of those but before I buy anything I want information. As far as I have read they shouldn´t pose a large problem to keep, are they?

I feel pretty confident that I have a sexual pair of my C variegatus, but would like to double check since my experience in variegatus isn´t too big. What do you think? Female(this is the animal I´m only 98% sure about): Male(this one I´m absolutely certain about): The original images are...

Any of you guys out there know if L lugubris is making some kind of "chittering" sound? I heard that kind of noise in my reptile room this evening and the only animals I have that could possibly do something like that would be the L lugubris but since I´ve never heard or read anything about it...

Hi everybody. Since I plan to keep reading and start posting in this forum I might just as well introduce myself. Swede, 36 years old. Wife, two boys 2 and 4 years old. I have kept herps for about fifteen years. I started off with a cornsnake that very soon got company. Then it was time for...

Hi everybody, being new to this forum but not to the hobby I thought I would ask some of you guys from the US about the distribution of the different subspecies of C variegatus. I bought some animals a few months ago as C variegatus variegatus but I wasn´t told the exact locale where their...
