there was someone with a trio of young adults on Kingsnake for 2000 USD a few weeks back. They claimed these were the first in the states, but I am not sure for Europe. Id imagine others are keeping them.

From what I know there are 2 people keeping this species in Europe, one of them is from the link in the image. He told me the youngs will be sold to the highest bidder...

until today 28/10 there were 3 imports of them in the Netherlands,I've been told people f#cked up the first one but the second and the third were handled okay,I saw animals of the second import and they were beautiful,my guess is that there are about 15 pairs in the Netherlands!

Wow, 15 pairs is many more than I would have expected. I hope these make their way into the U.S. in a few years. It would be nice just to see them in person.

So does anyone here have any care tips for these guys? Also how are all these geckos getting into the US now when my East African field guide says they are an Endangered Species? I am excited to see them in the hobby and will be interested in buying some of the first CB. Thanks for input. Cheers, ericR

I keep my pair the same as any small phelsuma,so the same temperature,same food,same sweet liquid,they do not give any problems,I think they are very easy to keep.They are endangered in Tanzania in their habitat but are on no list what so ever,we had 3 imports in the Netherlands and the importer said to me that he had permission from the Tanzanian Government for these shipments.

i got mine for 70 pounds each i have 4 males 3 females they seen to do well on just born roaches and crickets with some baby food but out of all the insects i have tried eg crickets fruitflys locusts and roaches all at once they always picked the roaches for some reason i have seen my mating and know of a few people having hatchlings so they will soon be all over the place im sure
 
Yes there are people with them but as far as i know they are in europe besides first choice reptiles on kingsnake.com and they suck. i really dont llike fcr. post in the south african geckos forum. im sure theyed be able to help you.

There are quite a few people with them in the US. Don't assume they are only in Europe because you don't see them on kingsnake, they don't neccessarily end up on kingsnake. Seems to me kingsnake is always two steps behind the gecko hobby (unless it's leos or cresteds). I have two trios and know several others with them. I got mine from Royal Reptilia, Mark's a good guy and did right by me.

Looks like I can buy up to 3 of these beauties right in our local (in ALASKA!) pet store, for only $100 a piece. I'm thinking of getting at least one .. but seeing the blue boy with the green/gold female is just ... fantastic. Such beautiful critters!

BTW, I'm totally new to geckos - never owned one, but have always wanted one. My favorite part of our trips to Hawaii are seeing the geckos!! We've had at least one resident gecko in very hotel room/house we've had there! :) It would totally rock to have my own here in Alaska! :)
