some of my Coleonyx v. variegatus (dial-up warning!)

[GoldenGateGeckos]

I have a WC pair that are as tame as my leos, and they are busy breeding and laying for the second season. I adore these lovely little geckos, and just wanted to share!

Here is the female:

Here is the male:

Here are a few pics of a baby hatching:

Here is that baby as a juvenile:

Those are beauitful specimens. Do you know where they were caught WC?

 

[GoldenGateGeckos]

They were collected just east of Bakersfield, CA a few years ago. The male was a sexable sub-adult, and the female was a very small juvie... barely even visible! The female is especially tame, as are their offspring... the male still squeeks at me before he lets me handle him, but settles right down.

really nice banding on that female Marcia! i assume the tail on the male is regrown?

Yes, Scott... the male got his tail trapped between some large rocks in the vivarium, and I came home to see a severed tail and a tail-less gecko. Actually, the regenerated version is not too bad, IMO.

Great looking bandeds, Marcia!

 

[Coleonyx]

Wow! I saw that yellow color and was thinking bogerti! Nice! The ones here (nevada) are tan.
