are you sure that this is an Dubia and not a Hielscheri ????

wow! he's beautiful! great buy! i hope tos ee more pictures in future. looks a lot like hielscheri, are you certain it's dubia?

 

[jeroen de kruyk]

as far as I know dubia's have a orange ring around both the eyes
but i am certain that this is an WCanimal. CB dubia's are not that pretty at all

 

[mrow1109]

i was questioning that too but hes been with my female dubia and he hasnt tried to breed at all, not even head bobbing so i do not know. And hes wc so,..
heres some more pictures

 

[mrow1109]

I do not know if my female was wc or cb she was my first day gecko and i got her when she was a juvenille neither of my species ever have had orange on them. when i first bought my 2 juvenille day geckos sold to me as green day geckos they had nor orange eyelids, my female when she wasy young had a blue tail.

if he wasnt a dubia, do you think he'd be allowed out of Madagascar/Africa?

 

[mrow1109]

well id be illegal to export hielscheri, i dunno maybe he was exported as dubia or maybe hes just an insane dubia

 

[Palex134]

well id be illegal to export hielscheri

exactly
thats why I think he is a stunning dubia! But I do agree with the eyes thing, my old trio had that too, but maybe yours are a locality thing?

 

[the moof]

actually, the difference between hielscheri and dubia is still VERY hazy. some look like this:

and some look almost identical to dubia. I do think however that, due to the size of the lateral spots (where hielscheri is usually speckled as seen above) this is most likely just a stunning dubia which is even better for you.

best regards,
Mark

Wow michael, he is incredible!!! I'm gonna steal him when I'm watching your geckos this summer :twisted: LOL just kidding man! He really is special though and I hope you get him breeding.

 

[mrow1109]

Oh he's beautiful! And im pretty sure he's a Dubia, he's a spitting image of my male Dubia, He's lovely! Good luck with him

Very nice gecko, I'd have to say dubia as well, he looks like one of my females, but with a lot more blue!! Congrats and good luck with him!!
