The question might seem stupid or it actually is. I was wondering if everyone has ever tried a thermal camera (not an infrared one!) to spot escaped and free-range geckos at night. After all, geckos bodies are not EXACTLY at the same temp than their surroundings. What sensibilitity in terms of...

Oh they eat fruit? That's interesting!I have noticed too their need of rather frequent sprayings. I grabbed some at the last Hamm show, they are WC, one of them didn't make it as it was really skinny and dehydrated, the others do fine for the time being. A few pics of them (click to enlarge)...

Gehyra marginata (Halmahera Giant Gecko) is a very large gecko species, reaching total length of nearly one foot (usually between 25 and 30 cm or a little more/10-12"). Due to some vague similarities, they are sometimes called the "leachianus of the poor". This is no longer true, as Gehyra...

Lygodactylus kimhowelli is a small species, barely reaching 85 mm with tail (3 1/2 inch), the tail being about 55-60% of this total length. They must never be handled, stress could kill them! They also drop off their tails quite easily. Males are very territorial, so there's no way 2 males...

LYGODACTYLUS KIMHOWELLI QUICK CARE SHEET True geckonidae without eyelids; all Lygodactylus are small, fast, and diurnal, endemic to the Southern half of the African continent for most of them. This care sheet applies to kimhowelli as well as to species which are quite close to them, such as...

th Above: Pachydactylus fasciatus baby, about 2 months old. Family: Geckonidae (true geckos, without eyelids). Both species discovered at the end of the 19th Century. Both these species of the Pachydactylus genus can be kept and bred under the same conditions. P. fasciatus is endemic to...

Hello all, Has anyone ever kept and bred those? I suppose a dry, large setup, rather rupicolous would work but I'd like more precise information from people with experience about these Hemidactylus platyurus, formerly called Cosymobotus platyurus. Any detail on temps, setup, breeding welcome...

If you are not able to provide 365 days a year, 24/24h the following basic conditions, these animals are not suitable for you. They are much more fragile than for example leopard geckos or crested geckos. Any mistake could easily lead to the death of specimens of the Uroplatus species. No...

I'd simply like to start a thread on Ptyodactylus species, especially for those who actually breed them. I know Julie Bergman has or had some, as well as Ben Scheler in Germany and Jon Boone. I'd just be curious to know who else really cares with breeding these amazing geckos? And which species...

For those who breed species of this amazing genus: All species of the Chondrodactylus genus are sexually dimorphic, we all know it. I have worked with turneri, angulifer angulifer, cf. pulitzerae, fitzsimmonsi and a new species from Namibia which I obtained through Jon Boone. I have noticed...

Alright. I'll use my knowledge on US market prices so as to avoid expensive species as you probably won't be able to afford them. As I had promised, here are some alternatives to Flying geckos and day geckos. Day geckos: -Fan-footed geckos are REALLY an interesting group of animals (genus...

Has anyone ever seen this species in captivity and/or know of importers working in their countries of origin, chiefly the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan in the Middle East or in Israel? Does anyone know about both countries policies on gecko exports?

A species much rarer than angulifer or turneri, endemic to Coastal Namibia near and in the Namib desert. Rock-hardy and very pleasant to keep, the basics are quite the same than with turneri. I keep 1:2, no breeding yet but it should work soon.

These guys breed like crazy at my place. I have 2 different forms, this one produces a lot as you can see on the second pic, these are just examples of the hatchlings I produced this year.

They're just huge and I find their patterns interesting. Both F1. Hope you'll enjoy them. Hervé

This middle-sized (SVL around 55-65mm, full length around 120 mm/6") species is from Paraguayan drylands. It is semi-terrestrial. A peaceful species, not too fast and mainly nocturnal. This is how I keep mine: 40x30x40 enclosure for a pair (16"x12"x16"), substrate: fine desert sand on the warm...

Hemidactylus prashadi, H. leschenaultii, H. robustus and H. platycephalus. For all of these 4 species, I'd like to know what follows, with quick yet accurate answers: -adult size of the animals -hardy or not, and if they're not, what are they sensitive to? -enclosure size -mistings/humidity...
