Hi guys,

First sorry for my poor english...

I think that you must change the title of the post... N. sphyrurus was moved to Underwoodisaurus genus with N. milii...

The correct cientific name is Underwoodisaurus sphyrurus, not Nephrurus sphyrurus...

I heared ringing bells that there was a breeding pair in Italy, but the last year flew to USA to arrive in a famous breeder hands... I´m sure that all of us hope that he can breed them...

Regards! José R.

Any that turn up in the states will have been illegally smuggled as exports are prohibited from Australia. Not only is incredibly cruel to the animal it puts at risk the native reptile fauna of the country they're smuggled to... Diseases and parasites can easily be transported. I'm betting that a large portion of the keepers hear throw their reptiles faeces into the garden or trash.

Surely this worries a group who gets so upset about hybridising of two subspecies?

I think that should be saved for another thread H. Just trying to enjoy some pictures between keepers and photographers, not trying to make accusations, teach moral standards, or guilt trip anybody, just looking for some information on these beautiful animals. I think we all agree that the wild populations should be cherished and left alone! An argument for or against hybridization could go for pages, I believe the issue with that in the other thread was that it was claiming to be something that it truly was not, and most likely does not and perhaps will not ever exist. People will just not let things slide in this community that tarnish our reputations by stereotyping us as cheats, liars, or even smugglers/biodiversity threateners.

And insinuating that we all condone these types of behavior is a generalization and is also quite insulting.

Fair call Oli.

It probably should be in another thread. It's just saddening to see wild populations destroyed by collectors (it does happen).

I apologise if people have taken offence.

It's all good, it is sad to see this, I can only try to imagine going back to a spot where one once saw a certain wild population to going back and not find any or just very few.

Worse is going to a spot where all the habitat has been destroyed. Rocks flipped and smashed or bark completely stripped from trees.

Lovely animal! Thanks for sharing the pics. The Underwoodisaurus milii has been re-classified AGAIN, and is now Nephrurus milii after genetic testing proved it was classified correctly the first time. I wonder if this applies to the sphyrurus as well? Anyone?

I have contacted an Australian naturalist in order to get to know some facts:

"Hi,

I've seen your pics of the Nephrurus sphyrurus. Are you only the
photographer or also a breeder?
Are some gex available? Do you export to the European Union?

Best Regards,

Christian

Hi Christian,


Sorry, but I am a naturalist.
I only take Pictures and document Lizards in Queensland.
If you were ever in Australia, I would be happy to tell you where I saw this Gex.
It was the first and last one I have seen in 25 years, I would call that very rare.

Cheers kell."

Note to all OS Keepers and Breeders,.. Australian breeders are not allowed to ship outside this country so if you ask someone and they do it's a criminal offence with stiff penalties.....Nor are we allowed to import from other countries.

Sorry to highjack the thread fella's just wanted to let everyone know so they don't waste their time or ours ;)

Regards,

@ Geckology

Oh really...? I didn't know that Australian breeders are not allowed to export their geckos to other countries! That is an amazing new information, thanks for it.

Now I have to call my Australian mate not to send me these 50 geckos I have ordered, 'cause now we know it is criminal! >.<
