A few Chondro pictures

[BlakeDeffenbaugh]

Took a few pics the other day. Finally got around to resizing them so I figured I'd share.

I seen this guy out and had to take a picture of him as well.

in all honesty I think turneri are cooler than angulifer, but that's just me.......

The terneri are so skittish I can never get a good picture of them. He thought it was feeding time so he came down to jump in the bag of crickets again. Little did he know he got his picture taken instead.

 

[Geckos and Goannas]

Blake,

It looks like the two Chondros in the picture are different subspecies--the female Chondrodactylus angulifer namibiensis and the male Chondrodactylus angulifier angulifer.

Man, that male is beautiful.

Hi David,

why do you think that the female is C.a. namibensis ?

Best,

Sebastian

Sebastian,

The namibiensis subspecies has longer more gracile legs and most of the tubercles of both sexes are white on the ends.

The angulifer subspecies is stockier, has shorter legs, and seldom has pronounced white on the tubercles of the mid body.

Regards,

Dave

David,

I bought them from a VERY reputable breeder and I'm doubting he would of made the mistake of sending me the wrong female. To the best of my knowledge he doesnt work with namibiensis. But I could be wrong.

Thanks for the comments.
