Can anyone tell me what this one is...

[Lunar Gecko]

Hey all...as some of you know I'm still new to the day gecko world. I don't have any yet, still doing my research and reading my books. There is a post on anther forum were a guy is wondering what he has...I'm "S." there on there so you know who I am. I'm hoping to help him out a bit. By what my book says I think he has a dubia...maybe a yellow throated. Let me know what you all think...

i'd say jeff is right it looks like my v-nigra cormoraegrandensis

 

[Lunar Gecko]

Are you sure? Its the markings on the head that made me think other wise. Plus doesn't it look to be bigger, like maybe a 5-6 inch? IDK. =) Thanks for the help, thats got to be it.

I seen that you only paid $26 for it. That's a pretty good deal.

Also the Dubia has a blue ring around it's eye and I don't think it has the dorsal line the one in the pic has

Its not mine, as I said I don't have any Phelsuma yet.

I agree, I can't think of any other one it could be. You guys have to be correct. Like I said I'm new to them and still learning. But Its always that way with reptiles, one of the reasons I like them so much, no way to know it all.

High tropical with lots of plants/ hides. An easy way to identify dubias is that they have a noticeable orange iris.

 

[Geckos and Goannas]

I agree with them. I personaly dont like those forums though. alot of idiots on there. no offense to anybody. just bad experiences.

I agree, but there are a lot of people on there who do need help w/ there geckos and its one of the first forums that show up on a google so naturally you get a lot of strange people. But there are also a lot of nice people as well and if you are willing to just avoid a fight by not dropping to other peoples level you can get some good info there. I much prefer this forum and a few others to that one but when I am board I do pop in there. Hope it was not to bad, I have seen some BAD flame wars there.

what sort of temps and humidity are we talking about?

Is 80% good with 80-90 temp?

 

[Sgvreptiles]

Temps sound good. Very simple to keep. Eat well and are a real Joy to keep. Just had my first v-nigra v-nigra hatch about a week ago. Cool little geckos!

 

[lessthantito]

Jeff how long did the V-nigra take to hatch?
