Thanks and here is the .pdf file if your curious...

Thanks Dennis...I think I know what your talking about I just wanted to say you have a very nice website and the photos are unbelievable. Wish I would have known about a few other Genus' ohhhh about 3 years ago!

Here is a neat little book I stumbled across.

Sphaerodactylus - Google Book Search

Dang, after I went through the trouble of xeroxing a copy of it for myself...

If the poetry at the bottom of 222 doesn't pique your interested in sphaeros, nothing will.

Hello Ken,
Thanks, we are doing our best with the homepage. This year it will be translated into english, but it will take a while

I just use google.com language tools and it pretty much changes the language to English...maybe you should try it??? I can understand everything very well when it comes down to it.

Thanks for the link of your little photo session.

Hahaha, worth the trouble I am sure ;-)

Damn, your right...that does say enough in one little paragraph...bet they are fun to work with, but challenging too.

Hello,
Now I have pics of the offered "Sphaerodactylus richardi". The picture of the female isn´t that good, sorry. I don´t believe, that it is richardi, because the females have just pale bands on their back. But this species is a member of the S. scaber-group for sure, because of the large scales on their back with some rows of small, granular scales in the middle. Perhaps S. scaber itself? What do you think?
I will try to get the locality..

"S. richardi" male:

"S. richardi" female:

"S. richardi" juvenile:

PS: if there is anybody else, who keeps this species, I would be glad to get in contact to establish them in captivity.
