Hello all, from Chilliwack, BC.

Hello all, I am a newbie to gecko's, so bear with me if I don't use the latin name for all. My son raises "Crested Geckos" but I am going to try my hand at "Phelsuma klemmeri " Neon Day Gecko's as I hear they are a good compliment to my dart frog collection. I have built several vivariums as I like the plants and currently have approximately 17 frogs and a few tadpoles still developing with approximately 14 more frogs on order. So I love my frogs, however while visiting a fellow dart members house he showed me his neon day geckos in his tank and I thought they were great. I am always breeding cultures of fruit flies and have read up on different supplements etc for their diet. I have arranged to pick up a couple from a guy in Coquitlam this week but if I do try my hand at breeding them I am wondering if there are any other breeders in the Fraser Valley or Greater Vancouver area. Any help would be appreciated with suggestions etc. Thanks and a big hello to all. :)

PS. I will add that although it has been many years I am no stranger to reptiles. I was a member of the BC Herpetological Society many years ago and have had things like Tokay Gecko's {Gekko gecko} Cordylus Gigantus {Mated Pair} Wish I still had them. Several Agama's, Collared Lizards, and a few more that I can't remember at this time, it was over 25yrs ago. :)

Hello to you Harley_Davidson, Thanks for the heads up on "Leo". Used to live in Edmonton many years ago when my father was stationed at the military base there.... :biggrin: And a big hello to you yeoldmathshoppe in Delaware, never been there but hope to get out to that side of the country one day in the future, hoping to catch a Bruins game in Boston and go up and down the coast a bit.

Well I picked up a couple of Phelsuma klemmeri last night, they are really cool. Thank you Kevin, Today I am off to Hawaiian Botanicals to pic up some more mini broms for the newest vivariums. Then Sunday my son and his girlfriend are coming over to help me set up a new shelf unit and reorganize the frog set up. I will post some pic's when all is done. Oh the things I do when I am supposed to be relaxing on a long weekend.:biggrin: Happy Easter Everybody.:yahoo:

Wow, your set-ups look great, oh and welcome!!
My Fiance, our son, and I actually just moved from Chilliwack to Edmonton at the end of October! I was surprised to see someone else from there on the forum. :D

Actually it's great, customers come in and look at the frogs and the gecko's and seem to really love it, they bring their kids back just to look at them. You really don't see anything like it out here. Great hobby, even my wife like it...:yahoo:

Exactly! I'd definitely be more inclined to go to an Auto Shop that had a lobby like that! Much more interesting when you're waiting around, lol.

Yeah she's a beauty, border collie//****er spaniel cross. Had her for almost 12 yrs. She still hops up into my truck every morning and night to and from work. She is the most gentle dog I have ever had. In that pic she was looking for a treat I think. That's my wife in the background having a chuckle.:lol:
