Hello

This is a new species I have descriped in 2004 with Steffi Bach and Frank Glaw. Hope you enjoy the pictures. It's the smallest species alive with 7 cm (2 inches).
The animal on the photo is one female I've in my terrarium

they are in captivity because in Patricks post he said that the picture is of an animal he has in one of his vivariums. Also I was wondering if the males are similar in apperance. Is this species sexually dimorphic or not.

Click to expand...

do a google search for them

They must have been around for a while because even Wikipedia.com has an article on their care


anyway, put phelsuma kely into google, click images, and youll see some pics

I just mentioned wikipedia, because it doesnt have care for many australia geckos which have been around for a while, yet has a care sheet for a gecko described 2 years ago

Hello

I think the picture is now repaired. We were the first keepers of this species. Can you tell me the link to the page where you found the article. They don't have a dimorphism.

Regards Patrick

hi patrick

i was wondering what exactly distinguishes this species from a lygodactylus species? they do seem very similar...

ahhh, what a fantasticly sweet gecko! how many do you have? do tell me when you have them breeding, and sellable ones :p i would drive all the way up to you just to buy one off you :wink:

regards,

Hello

Phelsumas are really easy to distinguish from Lygodactylus if you look on the tip of the original tail and the adhesive struktures of the fingers.

Best Regards Patrick
