A sight for sore eyes, a hatchling pair of Matoatoa brevipes. I'm fairly confident they are sexually dimorphic, and sexable at hatching. Male top, female bottom.

This is a big, arboreal, chunky Paroedura related to P. tanjaka and P. ibityensis.

Aristelliger expectatus (adults are a bit bigger than A. lar hatchlings)

"Hello danscantle it appears that you have not posted on our forums in several weeks, why not take a few moments to ask a question, help provide a solution or just engage in a conversation with another member in any one of our forums?" Ok, here's some shots of a male Sphaerodactylus leucaster.

S. thompsoni. This species has a lifestyle unlike any other Hispaniolan species - it's nocturnal and lives on rock faces. S. streptophorus (male) S. schuberti (juvenile asking if I am god. I am.) S. plummeri S. armstrongi S. ariasae - full grown male S. ariasae - full grown female...

I'm currently on Hispaniola in Pedernales, La Republica Dominicana on a quest for the smallest gecko - S. ariasae (and 20+ other species). Overall, this trip has been an overwhelming success so far. However, Hispaniola keeps throwing one challenge after another at me. Currently, it's a matter...

They move around spiny plants so gracefully I can't help but wonder if their distribution depends on spiny thickets. By extension, is this why they are so bizarrely shaped?

This is why I always check the house gecko bin. Females are grey.

North Island form The best thing is those colors only get nicer with age, unlike the South Island forms which tend to fade.

Few hours old: Father: Exciting bits of natural history and the evolutionary ecology of this species (and more!) at Gekkoni Day next month.

And decided to post a photo. A million times cooler than any Rhacodactylus - a big bag of colorful velvet - Aristelliger lar. Posted in the "Day Gecko" forum in protest of the taxonomically absurd forum categories on this site. This genus is in the family Sphaerodactylidae, it's closest...

This animal has looked like this since it hatched. I will see if the trait is heritable over the coming months.

File these under miscellaneous Sphaerodactylidae. Aristelliger lar from one part of the Dominican Republic. And from another part.

Those white things are F2 Hemidactylus squamulatus.

Saw this in the news today... Henkel’s Leaf-tailed Gecko Seems like the Bronx Zoo staff does not frequent this site, or own a copy of a Malagasy herp field guide.

Continuing with rarely seen geckos, a captive bred Homopholis fasciata.

Baby Gekko ulikovski.

Hey everyone- A colleague of mine is in need of bearded dragon tissues for a project he is working on. If you would like to help out and contribute he would need shed skins or any frozen, dead animals you may be saving. Contact me for further details if you are interested. Cheers, Daniel
