Hi,
As I am new to this site, I will include a bit more detail about myself than if I were an old member... I currently keep 10 pythons and one, soon-to-be 3, Central beardies...And hopefully a pair of a couple of different sp. of geckos
I'm looking at getting some geckos soon (N. levis levis, U.milii and maybe some Diplodactylus sp.) and have been searching for really good quality books on them as I want to learn as much as I can about them. I have "Keeping Australian Geckos" coming within the next couple of days and have purchased "Keeping and Breeding Australian Lizards" which is due to be in stock around xmas time. I'm more interested in the terrestrial geckos than arboreal, and am really excited about getting them in the next month or so, but for now, the main excitement is focused on getting my head stuck into these books - if they ever arrive:roll: I've also been researching online in various different forums and sites whilst I've been waiting for these damn books...So by the time the geckos are feeding well etc I will have done everything I can to know as much as I can... thats the plan anyways
This question kind of covers all Aussie geckoes, but i didnt want to double post to cover both Aussie gecko sections in this forum, and the main sp. I plan to keep are Nephrurus sp. and U. milii.
I have seen, in the past 2-4 months, U. milii, D. vittatus, D. steindachneri, D. conspicillatus, a few different Gehyra sp., H. binoei, N. asper, S. taenicauda, S. williamsi (I think thats it - SO far :S lol) in the wild and have absolutely fallen in love with them! The wild geckos are MUCH more stunning than most of the captive geckos I've seen IMO, especially the asper, milii and steindachneri's... Can't say I've seen captives of much else except the Golden-tailed's and there isnt that much variation between the captives and wilds of those that I have witnessed.
So... Just wondering if anyone knows of any other good books like this? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! And any pics are welcome
Thanks for your time
