I have always REALY liked Naultinus, but they are too much and I am too inexperienced :( I would not want to go banckrupt though. I also realy like the coleonyx. I dont know, I like all reptilians.

i figure most people would say naultinus. they are really beautiful animals. but personally, even though i already have 5 species, id likely bankrupt myself to get every species of uroplatus. but theres also the members of the genus strophurus. never seen one in person, but id reeeeally like one. especially one of the ciliaris subspecies.

Photograph one? Id be happy to just see one, they are more like a Santa Claus than a white whale to me, I wont believe in them until I see one! A friend of mine saw one DOR a few years ago :evil: other than that Ive only seen pics. SNHM has a bunch of specimens but I think they are remodleing now, I plan on going to check them out when I can.

When are you going Nathan? I am going to go out to imperial as much as I can this year more to look for bandeds but I guess I can help you look for switaki :lol: There are also leaftoed geckos in the same area which are more common.

Far too many to choose. I can automatically create a white whale by getting a collect permit. A soon as I get the permit issued, whatever the species, they disspear off the face of the earth, reappearing the day the permit expires. I cannot choose from your exotic range , far too many. From my aussies, certainly Carphodactylus and N.wheeleri.

There's a few things I've seen and wish I picked up. Like a european legless lizard, a very cheap Ornate Uro, was something else as well.

Hey Hazpat and Nathan,
Sorry I don't post more ( I will be working on that soon) but I am from San Diego, and have a good group of us field oriented herpers who take atleast weekly trips out to the desert. I have not yet to personaly find a Switaki but this is my year. Look me up!

Well i guess the most literal of white whale of the herp world would be a leustistic ball python. They are super super expensive, and soooo beautiful.
