Nephrurus wheeleri cinctus Hatchling

[Lizards of Oz]

This little gem hatched out a few weeks ago. These are definitely my favorite type of Knobtail.

Those guys are awesome-thanks for sharing.

So amazing! I love them!

 

[Minhawali]

Congrats. That's a beauty.

Cheers,
Johan.

Well done Matt, Would you say their behaviour, housing needs etc are very similar to N. amyae?

 

[Lizards of Oz]

I keep them very much like my N. amyae. Their habits are a bit different though. I love watching them kick sand on their backs. They are very special geckos.

 

[Justin]

Thanks Matt. Have you found them hard to breed?

 

[Lizards of Oz]

This is my first year producing them, so it's to soon to say. Things seem to be going well so far.

 

[Justin]

Are they similar in size to N. l. levis?

 

[Lizards of Oz]

I'd say they are somewhere between N. levis and N. amyae in size. Very unique.

 

[Justin]

I agree, very unique. Thanks for answering all the questions Matt. Nice to hear from you and I'm glad you're season is going well.

Can't weight till they go down in price ;-)

Couple more years...

 

[GeckoFiend]

Very cool geckos indeed-perhaps my fatties will allow me to get a baby wheeleri or two next year...

 

[Ken Bartenfeld]

What do babies even go for? I have never heard of babies for sale.

 

[Nathan Hall]

You could probably find babies for a couple grand or so.

You have to get permission from your other geckos? LOL! I couldn't resist, Aaron.

 

[GeckoFiend]

Yea, they're kinda partial to new species.

I just need lots of babies from the fattails to be able to afford some more expensive stuff-I sent you PM about the het females you'll have at Daytona. Would be nice to have a couple more females going this next season.

 

[Ken Bartenfeld]

Heh! That was kinda funny...

So for a couple grand, jeez...so like for one pair of Amyae, you can get 1 baby Wheeleri, or you can get like 3 baby Amyae...hmmm, hard choice.

...really is :x

Ken,
I am going to bring a few to Daytona this year. They will probably go around $1500-$1700 for unsexables. I may bring a pair or two also.
