Rhacodactylus leachianus leachianus get the biggest, so the Main Island (Grande Terre) form.

You should buy this book all the info you need is in it:
Rhacodactylus: The Complete Guide to their Selection and Care
by Philippe De Vosjoli, Allen Repashy, Frank Fas

Hi, don't know if this thread is still active after more than 4 years, but I had a question regarding one island that I have not been able to find information for (I've looked in the Gex Files website, giantgeckos, and leapin' leachies, and more). I just got a hatchling which is a cross between a GT-B (from Tim Tytle) and "island X" (from Allen Repashy). Which one is this island X? Thanks for the help!

"Island X" is something people came up with to describe "island cross". The parent of your animal is a mix of at least two, if not more, of the offshore islands. Hope this helps.

Thank you! So this means my leachie is basically an ”unknown locale” cross. Sad, I paid extra thinking it had a cleaner lineage. Oh well I still love him/her the same.
