Howdy, I just got a trio of felinus in and they seem to all have black eyes. I knew of the silver and green eyes, but hadn't heard of black eyes in these guys until I got them and checked the posts here. Anyone know how common this is, or if it's tied to a particular region? BTW, there are...

The first two pics are siblings born last october 2009 that I got from Phil Tremper. The following two are animals bred by marczy that I got in the fall and plan on breeding with the animals from Phil this spring. The last two are babies I also got from marczy and who are ravenous eaters :)

Many of us have either asked the question regarding the difference between hainanensis and lichtenfelderi or are at the very least familiar with it. The recent questions regarding hybridization in other posts, along with the issues we face with the severe inbreeding in the japanese gonis (from...

These guys are now officially more well traveled than I, but after a nail-biting journey they're here in Chicago. Thanks Thomas! (pics are his as well...gotta get me a digi cam some day)

Okay, a few have tried to get a survey of goni breeders and it usually fizzles, but a friend of mine turned me on to google docs which are free. I've created a very basic (crude I confess) spreadsheet that works much like excel. I can "invite" people to contribute and they can add and edit...

Formerly referred to as cyrtodactylus pelagicus. I've seen a couple of different common names like slender hook toed gecko or pelagic gecko and it appears to be parthenogenic or pseduo-parthenogenic (takes the presence of another female to induce ovulation...one account used the term bi-sexual)...

I think it would be advantagous to start networking among the various goni breeders. Any ideas and suggestions would be welcome. I realize a few of us have been chatting, but the amount of breeders and those interested in breeding seems to be increasing and something a little more concrete...

Well, I was starting to think that everyone went abstinent but it appears some have been busy. My one female Luii is now gravid which is really exiting. My leopard gecko is also gravid which I'm bring up here as it's a unique situation. I recently moved and had limited space. I didn't want...

I was wondering if you guys had the dates for the March Hamm show. I was also wondering having never travelled there what airfare averages, as I didn't see any trips available to Hamm itself on Expedia, and have never travelled to Europe before. Also, I need to know what types of paperwork I...

I believe 2007 is going to be a good year! I peeked in on my cat geckos today and found my oldest female curled up asleep around a pair of newly laid eggs. Hopefully the rest of my girls will take note :D

I was reading how they've verified through dna analysis parthenogenesis in two separate Komodo dragons. This got me thinking that perhaps it may exist in other monitor lizards. I was just curious if anyone here had heard of/had any experience of this. Just curious, Mark

Hi guys, merry christmas! I was wondering if anyone has/is working with H. Taylori. I'm picking up a couple of pairs and wanted to get some feedback from those who have kept them. Thanks, Mark

Well, we've touched on the topic before where a few of us have noted that our luii and hainanensis like to roam the underside of their screens at night. I'm now starting to wonder (with the non-Japanese species at least) if they are not actually more arboreal in nature. While all of my goni's...

Well I had the priveledge of watching my one girl shed (they are just as slow and methodical at that as with everything else) and wanted to post a pic. I just wish I had a better camera to show the green and highlight the pink on the sides...either way here's my little girl... thanks for...

Well, now that I'm having fun with my cam you guys can help me with a question i've had for some time. From the pics I'm guessing these guys are bogerti, but not knowing the locatlity they came from I'm not sure. Is there any way you can make an educated guess based on the pics? Here is the...

Now that I've figured out how to paste pics here are my gonis... Hainanensis father Hainanensis mother (she got away from me during the shoot and went straight up into my computer tower through a small slot in the bottom. Needless to say I had to yank the cord and tear the thing apart. This...

I finally got registered with photobucket, but I have no idea how to load a pic up onto a post. Any help/instruction would be much appreciated. p.s. I "borrowed" one of your pics to practice with as I have none of my own at work. I'll delete it once I figure everything out...if you don't...

Just curious, it seems to me that there aren't many recessive traits commonly seen on any of the madagascan herps that I know of. Was curious if this had more to due with an island isolation issue, or something else. Or, maybe I'm just not familiar with the herps that have shown them. Either...

Okay I got my cat gecko trio on 06/14/06. They had already been in the states for at least a week from the ad, and I"m guessing he had them for most likely a week or more as well. I ordered a subadult pair, but got an extra adult female. Now she is obviously grravid and will probably lay in a...

I was curious how many clutches the average G. Hainanensis lays per season. I was under the impression it was 2 or 3, but mine laid her fifth since February this morning. I'm sure age factors in and just wanted to know what they are capable of. Thanks, Mark
