Hi,

I stumbled acorss this forum last night and absolutely loved it, and the diversity of the geckos discussed on here so decided to join up today. I was especially interested in the section dedicated to Cyrtodactylus as I am starting to get very interested in this genus. Below is a list of what i have kept / currently keep to give you an idea of my experience:

Geckos:

Chondrodactylus angulifer *
Cyrtodactylus brevipalmatus *
Eublepharis macularis *
Eurydactylodes agricolae *
Gekko gecko
Gekko ulikovskii
Goniurosaurus luii *
Hemidactylus frenatus *
Lepidodactylus lugubris *
Lygodactylus picturatus
Pachydactylus tuberculosus *
Pachydactylus turneri
Rhacodactylus ciliatus *
Stenodactylus sthenodactylus *
Teratoscincus scincus scincus
Tropiocolotes steudneri *
Uroplatus guetheri *

Various Lizards:

Basiliscus plumifrons *
Chalchides Ocellatus ocellatus
Cordylus tropidosternum
Crotaphytus collaris
Dispsosaurus dorsalis*
Gerrhosaurus flavigularis
Gerrhosaurus major
Stenocercus eunetopsis
Tribolonotus gracilis
Uromastyx occelatus *
Varanus exanthematicus

Amphibians:

Agalychnis callidryas *
Ceratophrys ornata *
Cynops Orientalis
Dendrobates Tinctorius *
Litoria caerulea

* = Currently Keeping

Well that just about sums up what I've kept lol... As you can see I amvery much more specialising in geckos at the moment. I have plans to no longer keep the other lizards I am currently working with to have a collection exclusively of geckos and a small handful of amphibians in the near future. In particular I am looking at working with giant geckos, different tokay morphs, various cyrtodactylus and goniurosaurus species and having a go with coleonyx species of some kind.

Hope to get to know you guys better.

Currently I only have a single male, but think I will be getting him a female when i get the chance later in the year (he is still fairly young anyway). I decided to just get the one, partly because I had never worked with uroplatus before and wanted to see how well I got on with them, and partly because I just didnt have thae money for a pauir left by the end of the show i got him at lol.

In terms of just keeping this one I am having quite a good time with him, hes eating well and shedding withou problems, seems a very nice species to work with, especially for my first uroplatus. I was planning on getting phantasticus or ebenaui but found the guentheri instead.

How come your not working with guentheri if you dont mind me asking? You have quite a nice collection of uroplatus, including 3 of my 4 favourites lol (phants, ebenaui and pietschmanni... the 4th being guentheri ;) )

o_O thats very impressive indeed. I dearly want guentheri :( :lol: i found 2 in the wild though, so that makes me feel all happy :p :mrgreen: I might have some available to me here in switzerland soon though! :mrgreen: in which case they will be gone less than a week before they are for sale.

regards,
*the moof*
