I am starting a thread like the one you see in the Phelsuma section of the forums. So we can see who keeps what Gekko species. There are a few rare ones out there that not alot of people work, with maybe this will help out the Gekko network. So please post the Gekko that you are currently working with or breeding. Thank you.

I am looking for people that keep the Genus Gekko not people that keep geckos in general.

Gecko gekko 1.0.0 at the moment.
Female died recently...she was carrying 2 eggs. Such a shame.
Now I'm looking for a adult female or 2 to replace her.

....you misunderstood, but this is a common mistake. We're looking for keepers of the genus Gekko, not just geckos. Leopards are Eublepharis, and Bibron's are Pachydactylus.

again, not all geckos are Gekkos. Gekko is a genus, or group of closely related species. Tokays and marbleds are both Gekko. The rest are not.
Gekko grossmani is the scientific name for the marbled gecko

I added a little note in the first thread that states the genus Gekko not geckos in general maybe that will help. I didnt think of that when I was posting this lol.

Gekkowise I do breed regularily:

Gekko gecko
Gekko grossmanni
Gekko siamensis
Gekko ulikovskii
Gekko vittatus

I also had regular success with Gekko monarchus, but my only female escaped this spring and I have yet to see her again. I have only two holdback juvies from this species and I hope to be able to make a new pair of either the two or their dad and one of them, once they have grown up. In Germany it is not easy to get monarchus.

I also had a pair of Gekko smithii. The male was a giant of 38cm but died five years ago from Cryptospiriosis. Since than I failed to get a healthy male (got one at the Hamm show which already died in the first week of quarantine) and thus I only have a single smithii female since five years.

Ingo I was waiting to see what you would post. I knew you had more than 1 or 2 Gekko. Nice collection.
