PLEASE CAN YOU HELP ME IDENTIFY?

[Madgecko]

Hi guys

Following on from a previous thread, I wonder if you can help in confirming my Phelsuma? I understood them to be PMgrandis, but on a previous thread was advised they may be PM Kochis. Here are two pics from today. The female is shedding after a few amorous advances from the male ripped a few bits off!

Im not an expert but it looks like some madagascariensis maby kochi

 

[strikedistance]

It is def not a grandis. I would say kochi.

 

[the moof]

yay tehy agree! yup, i'm still for kochi on this one.

 

[Madgecko]

So, are both Kochi then? They look very different..

 

[jeroen de kruyk]

they are both kochi
the sides of both animals are the same.
white spots between the green

def not a mad grandis the colour is to less both the green and red

 

[m.roesch]

I would say kochi

These are both kochi. Notice that these animals lack the red stripe from the nose to the eye or it is very faint. Grandis have that stripe(it is almost always vibrant) as well as the other madagascariensis species. The other species have the stripe like grandis only the stripe extends further than the eye. They are also duller in appearance than the other species which is typical for kochi. they are nice specimens none the less.

i can only agree with ryan here
although i have never seen a mad kochi i know for sure that this is a mad kochi.

i only breed mad grandis
mad mad i have seen a few times
mad boehmei i have seen many times i would like to have a pair of those this year( dreams)

why do I never hear about Phelsuma mad boehmei or kochi as much?

 

[jeroen de kruyk]

kochi is not that attractive
and boehmei is bred in very small numbers and very expensive

if you would buy a pair of boehmei i can afford with the sam price 2.3 phelsuma ornata

I had no idea that so many of these Phelsuma were really beautiful and interesting and I would love some P.Ornata they are one of my favorites
