Hybrid Naultinus x Hoplodactylus

I dislike hybrids, even if it does produce an attractive animal.

Hybrids are in my opinion very distasteful. However I can accept them if they are at least parented by animals from a same general landmass.

I completely agree.

New Zealand Hybrids

Hi,
I'm a keeper from New Zealand. I've also seen photo's of hybrids between Naultinus & Hoplodactylus. While the result looks pretty amazing - it's not something I think should be allowed.
I have South Island Naultinus, which are a step up again from the beautiful N. grayi, N. elegans & N. punctatus of the North Island of New Zealand.

Hopefully there is a photo attached of Naultinus stellatus (Nelson Lakes)
Just one of our beautiful green geckos.

Many of us here in the states would give up body parts for a pure Nautinus or better yet a breeding pair of them. I myself think its a gorgeous species and the pure looks ever so much nicer than the hybrid, sorry!
Scientific/biological debates aside, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" is my opinion on this particular hybrid.Mother Nature did a kickbutt job on her own without human help. . .
