Anyone ever been to NZ and seen Naultinus In the Wild?

Peter,
I was there last year and did the northern part of the North Island.
Didn`t see any in the wild.
I did see lots of them in the Reptile Park just north of Auckland.
The owner told me that, the last years, it wasn`t going that good with wild populations.
Cheers,
Johan.

NZ geckos in the wild
I just returned from spending 6 months in NZ. It was freakin spectacular. However, after spending countless weekends, in suppossedly prime gecko habitat, looking for lizards to photograph, I did not find a single one. The NZ forest is as dense as it gets, these geckos are VERY well camoflaged. Nonetheless it was fun trying.

Did the owner of the Reptile Park just north of Auckland specify any reason for hard-to-find wild populations of NZ gex of late? Has it been a cyclical weather issue?

So the reason for the scarcity of Naultinus is predators...bad news. I guess it's survival of the biggest...:evil:
It would be great if these geckos could find hiding places to outsmart the larger creatures!
Humm-mm......do feral cats make good ingredients for soup?
