C. Elegans in-situ

[ptenopus]

All the striped and abberant CB ones are cool....but nothing beats walking down a trail and spotting a monster female

Next time you're walking down a trail and find elegans, smuggle them back here for me

Amen to that, Frank!

Is that the northern or southern subspecies?

 

[Coleonyx]

nice! It looks like the Colima banded gecko to me (C. e. nemoralis). Is it?

 

[ptenopus]

i believe it is

 

[sune jensen]

very nice... and very different from the form common in Europe (which I kept and produced a few years back)

They're common early in the rainy season on the pacific coast.

I didn't realize that C. elegans were even found on the Pacific coast... I thought they are from the Yucatan, which is the Gulf and Atlantic. Isn't it the C. mitratus that can be found on the Pacific coast?

 

[Switaki]

C. elegans are in the Yucatan Penninsula, but that's only a portion of their range. I have seen animals from Colima, Michoacan, and Puebla (C. e. nemoralis).

C. mitratus is not found in Mexico.

Are any found in Beliez?? I am going there and would love to find another species of Coleonyx.

The photograph was taken in belize. So, yeah, they are there. Just hike the jungle at night. I didnt find any flipping logs, but i didnt look that hard for em.
