Nice pictures. Do you have a girlfriend for him or just the one P. scutatus?

 

[danscantle]

unfortunately, for now he's all i have. i'm extremely fortunate, however, to have such an interesting species/genus in my collection.

Does he make much noise for you, or is he pretty quiet without any females or competition around?

once you pair him up He'll make some funny sounds for ya. Almost sounds like a short high pitched zipper like zzzzp zzzzp

nice to see that there are keepers of Pachydactylus in the States. I bought two juveniles of P. scutatus this weekend at the 22nd international Gecko meeting in germany. there was a slide show about namibias geckos (with lots of pics of different Pachydactylus) this morning. Scutatus seem to be very productive.

actually, he calls just about every evening. took me a while to come to terms with the fact the crazy noise i heard belonged to him. chahoua pointed it out to me.
