Heres a guy I got hes badass and I'm loving him. . . cant remember if I already posted a few of these pics but oh well there isnt anything else goin on in this part of the forum.

Hey,

finally a G. badenii. The second one I ever saw.
At least, that is, what I think. Anyone else with the same or a different opinion?

Hey, I am not really a big Gekko fan but he looks really cool! Wasn't Jon Boone offering one just like it? I couldn't find much information on G. badeni so I can't agree or disagree with you Ingo.

 

[BlakeDeffenbaugh]

Ingo I'm not sure what it is. I bought it as undescribed. I have just the male and as soon as a female hatches out shes mine so I can pair them up. If you think its G. badeni and have any info on them please pass it my way it cant hurt to look over.

Knobman yeah I got him off Jon and I couldnt be happier with him.

Hes a fast shy little guy I'd love to get better pictures of him but he wont stand be anywhere close to the tank. That last picture was a fluke. I walked in one morning before work and the lights where still off, seen he was out, went and got the camera but figured he be gone but wasnt and got lucky to get that one.

everything I've seen of badenii looks similar to a ulikovskii. this thing looks more like an aberrant grossmanni. I'd be interested in seeing some scalation detail.

 

[BlakeDeffenbaugh]

Kevin I'll try to get some good up close pictures of him but I dont think he'll like that hahaha. Might have to just catch him and hold him still.

 

[BlakeDeffenbaugh]

Here some pics. The close up ones are the best I could get sorry if they are a little blurry. The bands on his back are a light violet color but it just doesnt come out in the pics.

 

[PassPort]

i think grossmanni are smooth scaled. very interesting

 

[cliff_f]

So have you found a female for him yet?

 

[BlakeDeffenbaugh]

No I havnt found a female I'm waiting for one to hatch out . . then we'll be in business hahaha.

 

[BlakeDeffenbaugh]

I keep forgetting. This guy was picked up in the Cameroon highlands of Malaysia.

This gecko is Gekko lauhachndai. The gecko was described on late 2010 by our colleagues from Thailand. It's name honoring to my friend's advisor.
