I need to seperate several geckos and am looking into heating alternatives. I know in Greg and Leann Christenson's Day Gecko book they recommended halogen puck lights. If I am using enclosures with a 12" x 12" base and 12-18" heights will these sufficiently heat the enclosures? I would need an...

I took some pics out on the patio while I was home in south Florida. Big scary girl Kinda rugged alligator looking In ready to run position Both girls were less than happy at first to be brought out, but cooperative none the less.

This is my pair of chahouas. The male is nearly a full two inches longer than the girl. female female. Notice the Anolis sagrei on the fence in the background. They're in swarms in south Florida, the most dominatn reptile species without a doubt. male male

I picked up two of these geckos that appear to be S. petrii. They are 2 or 3 times as big as the S. sthenodactylus the store had. I've also heard they're commonly confused with Crossobamon orientalis. Can anyone ID this species? If better pics are needed let me know how I can make pics more...

I believe these are two male Lygodctylus luteopicturatus (spelling?). If someone can positively identify these that would be great. These guys are blinding fast. My eyes had a tough time keeping up when they would make sprints across the patio table. Diurnal geckos just seem so much more aware...

I have had my pair of chahouas together for about 2 months now with no signs of breeding activity. It took the female a couple weeks to shed some of her timid behavior but even now there is no breeding activity. They are in a 20" cube Barrs cage with cypress mulch substrate, several horizontal...

Can someone give me a key to the differences between mabouia and garnotii. I also just picked up at PetCo (had to get fruit flies) a H. sp. that was in with some frenatus. I can't tell what it is yet but it's not frenatus. It could be mabouia but there's no pattern on it and it just looks...

I just got back from spending 3 days in paradise. The Florida Keys. What a beautiful place even for a South Floridian. The few animals there are really amazing. Sphaerodactylus elegans Sphaerodactylus elegans Sphaerodactylus elegans (larger) and Sphaerodactylus notatus Sphaerodactylus...

Does anyone know of any papers on geckos specifically relating to conservation? I'm in a Conservation Biology class and we have to write a 5 page paper with 5 citations on anything pertaining to conservation. Naturally I'd like to choose geckos. If anyone knows of any papers on gecko...

Hey has Ken been on the forums in the past 48 hours? I know there was a terrible tornado that killed 14 in his area.

I'm looking for any publication references on Pachydactylus species. The EMBL Database isn't work so I am hoping somebody else may have a comprehensive list. Also looking for works on several Hemidactylus sp. and Tarentola gigas.

Here's some pics of my newly arrived H. triedrus from Nathan. I took a few quick pics so excuse the quality. Better ones to come as they acclimate. Notice the little head popping out in the bottom corner of the pic.

Here's some pics of my new P. mariquensis from Nathan. They just got in this morning so the pics aren't great quality.

These are some geckos that I caught locally in South Florida at my house. After years of seeing them around I decided to keep them and see what they're captive behavior is like. They are originally from Africa although I'm not sure where. They're very shy geckos and quick to scurry away. Here...

I am curious as to the true nomenclature of this species. I have seen it as Tarentola delandii gigas and Tarentola gigas. Is this in fact its own species or is it still considered a subspecies? And does anyone have papers on hand?

I am getting a pair of Pachydactylus mariquensis mariquensis next week. I was looking up their local weather and yesterday afternoon it was currently at 6% humidity. How can I lower humidity to be so arid? The geckos will be living in North Florida where it's generally 50-75% humidity, but it's...

Just some recent pics of my male R. chahoua. Hopefully I can get him a girlfriend.

Are there any places like Lowe's or Home Depot or plant store chains that anyone knows where I can find these? I'm trying not to buy them online.

Has anyone ever used incense in their gecko rooms? My geckos are in my bedroom and I'm too skeptical to use incense. Does anyone know if this would be safe or have any adverse effects?

I made the mistake of leaving my window open for just one afternoon to cool down the room. Now I have a dozen or more Drosophila buzzing around inside my Rhacodactylus chahoua cage where there is frequently fruit! What can I do to get rid of these pests? Is there any method short of completely...
