Anyone in the US working with these geckos

[j_izzle8930]

Just wondering if anyone is working with the New Zealand geckos in the US. It looks like this section of the forum doesnt get a lot of new threads. Anyone keeping these geckos should post some pics...amazing creatures

I believe that there are a select few handfuls of people keeping these geckos here in the states. Pics are always appreciated, i agree

What is the average cost of an auckland?

I agree, people keeping these guys should be posting more pics and info on them(that's you, Oli)

Oli, I've got to ask does your Naultinus prefer to hide among the foliage in your tank or does it utilize the cork tube hides? By the way I'm green with envy!

 

[oli]

Larry, they like to hide in the foliage as I have some real dense foliage and they wedge themselves all up in it. But they do also use the cork tubes as well as long as there are a bunch of entrances or holes in the tube.

Hey Oli,

What size enclosure are you housing them in? My male is getting big, and I'm wondering if I need an upgrade in enclosure size. He will sometimes use the space, and sometimes will not. He especially does when he's outside.

Ever notice them active at night (dawn/dusk)?

Kai, I have a pair housed in a 36 x 18 x 18 (approximately) screen cage. It's excessive I know, but I never changed their setup as I got them with it. I figured they were doing good in it so I didn't want to change it up. They do not need anywhere near as much room though. When they are outside just make sure they have shade to go into and make sure you do not get them too hot. Mine always sleep at night and aren't active at all past dusk. But they don't move all that much during the day either. They will reposition themselves and walk to a different basking spot, or go eat some fruit died, but they won't walk around continuously or nervously.
