Where the heck did you get elderi from? Charter a plane from Australia?

 

[aquapimp]

go for the "family jewels" dude!

Thanks for the comments,they are really amazing animals,a mix between diplos and strophurus but there´re just a few in captivity,I just know two or three pairs,so there´s not too much information and not too many people to talk about them.

Appart from this,as fas as I know,they are really difficult to breed in captivity but I cross my fingers to get it this year or in the following ones,hope to open a new post in the future with title "strophurus elderi breeding success"

Well I wish you the best of luck with breeding them, Óscar! We'll look forward to seeing some updates soon!

i dont really believe in the sentence "it's difficult to breed them in captivity" if no one had succeded so far, it's only because no one has kept them in the right way. I think that a good breeder, that really loves his animals, and treat them right, will soon or late succed in breeding even the most difficult species!! Finger crossed for you to achieve this!

:?Only know one keeper in Australia with this species but there is probably more, very surprised to see them in an overseas collection. Good luck with them

I think that's a very broad thing to say... Perhaps 'keeping them in the right way' is difficult to achieve. Perhaps their specific needs are difficult for the replicate. There are many breeders who love their animals and treat them right who hasn't bred certain species.

those geckos are incredible, that pair is exceptional too! Keep us updated with pics and all...

 

[earendel83]

Oscar, amazing pics!! although nothing like a face to face, jajaja...they are stunning geckos, like you said, they looks like a diplo with strophurus toes...

You know that there are a lot of people waiting good news from you... i´m one of them... fingers crossed!!

You are a good breeder, if anyone can breed them, you can do it! good luck my friend!

Regards! José R.

I made an example: in my country, people say "Amyae are impossible to breed in captivity..." and no one till now had succeded in breeding them.
I arrive on GU, and see a lot of topic about Amyae's hatchlings...so it's not impossible to breed them if in USA someone had succeded in it...
so my conclusion is that the success in breeding a species stays both on threating very well the geckos and, like you say, in givin them the right conditions that can be sometimes hard to replicate...but there are not species absolutely impossible to breed, just maybe a little difficult to replicate their optimal conditions.
Do you agree?

Mate even if you did charter a plane to OZ you would'nt have much luck, very few people have them here as well.

Stunning specimens by the way.
