Hi Nicolas,
great job!
Two of my nine H.taylori are also hunting and eating by her self.
Thats great, the two geckos are eating every three days seven ore eight crickets.
I hope to breed in this or next year. Great Geckos, i love it but it was a hard work and the other seven geckos on me are still not feeding without help.
Serge, also from Switzerland!:biggrin:

Very Nice
Hi Nicolas
That looks very good !
Are you not worried that those tails will explode as fat as they are ? he he..
I think its maybe better to let them loose a tiny bit of the excess weight. But they look perfect, I really compliment you.. only for breeding its probably better to let them loose a bit of weight.
My female is eating by her own aswell and my male is almost as far aswell.. Obesity is more of a concern than anything else once they really start eating. Imagine I only kept 1.1 for myself..:? But im back in Somalia at the moment working on my article about them. I now have been here every 2 months for the last 6months observing them which really helps allot in figuring them out by seeing them in nature during the different seasons of the year.
Keep up the good work..
Best regards
Thomas

Great work Nicolas and Thomas.
It is good to know that some serious and succesfull keepers and breeders work with those geckos now.
so we can hopefully await some good solutions for the future.
once you guys breed them, don´t forget me....

Colour variation..
Well after having seen more than 100 animals in the wild (and released most of them) I finally for the first time found an animal which is coloured a bit differently (appart from the black eyed animal i gave you Nicolas.. I dont know how I failed to see the black spots behind its eyes.. id probably never have given him away he he ). The second band is no longer a band but more like 3 sepparate blotches on this little guy.
Sorry for the lousy quality of the pic.. will need to take better ones in Europe.. not so easy here as I did not bring a good camera with me this time..
Yesterday my driver was shot at while picking up some animals in a remote village.. but luckily is o.k. there is a bigger and bigger border dispute between Puntland and Somaliland and allot of other issues causing allot of Problems here security wise. But still a beautifull country. Some French Cruise ship was also hijacked by Somali Pirates just near here a few days ago with 22 french people on it...
I think he is pretty.
And so is Somaliland when the sun sets..

Tom,
Nice tank and machine gun!! Is that what you drive when you are in Somalia to keep safe or is it good for road hunting? That is one heck of a gas guzzler if it is. Will you be bringing any geckos back from this trip?

Hi Lizardman,
I dont really have any extra animals as I normally only bring a few animals for myself (and then end up giving some away to breeders here in europe..) and then the cycle starts again ..;-)
I have had people in the US ask me for them but Im not really interested in sending single pairs over there as it would be unsustainable as a breeding base over there that way.
If a few serious breeders in the US could get together and order some taylori together (like its happened here in europe where there are people from Germany, Slovenia and Switzerland now actively working with several pairs each of them) then I could consider the effort of sending a few over there by airfreight next time I have some extra.
The Tank is from the war of 1991, its defunct. Only still usefull for a nice background for a picture :biggrin:
I use Landcruisers when moving around there.. one for me and the other full of armed soldiers for security reasons, always travelling together.
The problem is that the security situation is not getting better but worse and worse every time I go there. This was the first time that there was automatic gunfire going off at my drivers car while trying to leave a village.:sad:

Tom,
I know of at least two other very experienced gecko keepers here in the USA (and could probably come up with a few more) that would be very interested in getting a group from you. They have come here before but they were not in good shape when they arrived and almost all of them died in a very short period of time.
Send me a PM and let me know what they would cost (I have Import/Export permit for US) and shipping to the USA.
I have greatly enjoyed reading your posts about them and your travels to somalia. It is too bad that so many countries in Africa are in such turmoil as there are an abundance of beautiful places there. I spent some time in South Africa right after I graduated from High School (19 years ago) and before I discovered my passion for geckos. It is such a wonderful place! I hope to one day return.
Keep up the good work and the great stories and photos. Is that an AK-47 you are holding? I was joking about the tank, it appears that the tracks are partially buried in the sand LOL. Have a safe trip and return home.
