Man your just making me want these guys even more! Try to get pictures of the females I'd like to see how the colors compare to the males.
 
ok Ill try. she is just so fast its hard to get good pics. thier behaviors are awsome! their like little birds by how they perch on rocks and peck at their food! I really like how they are diurnal too. ill post more pics soon.

neat setup, cool little geckos. You have some really lovely critters and if I only had the space, time, and it wasn't against the bylaw to have'em....

it's a city bylaw against exotic animals. they classify roaches (blaptica dubia)as exotic too. NOBODY said city council was the sharpest knife in the drawer. the only good thing is that its not really enforced, but the pet shops in town can't sell any type of reptile. it SUCKS:-x, but a five minute drive, with my lead foot and I can be in another small town that does allow reptiles, just don't see too many really nice ones, or to many different species. So I surf thru here and drool all over my keyboard at some of your geckos and other reptiles on the forums:coverlaugh:
Council also banned pitbulls or pitbull types of dogs a year or so ago, then the province jumped on that bandwagon too. pretty soon I'll only be able to get stuffed animals....sorry my little rant

Yeah, it did look really big. Wow, the female looks evil and pissed--so different from the playful, fun-loving air of the male. Ha! :lol:
 
That sucks! IM sorry to hear that! But yes Blake the only real difference is that she is usually lighter in color and less red. Ill post two more of her when I get home. And yes she always looks so pissed off compared to the male. I dont know why.:?
