Very excited to be producing these gems. Such an amazing genus ;-)

I'm so jealous! I've been in love with these guys since I saw them. Stunning creatures. I see you're in NY. Will you be at the Corning Reptile Show in May by chance?

I might just hit that up! how's the turnout at that show?

 

[Embrace Calamity]

I dunno, I've never been. I heard about it the end of last year after it had already happened, but I was told it was better than they expected. Probably won't be huge, but I'm sure they'll get more than 4 or 5 people. I'm gonna be going and would love to see these geckos if you'd have a table. I'm sad to have never seen these beauties in person. Just drooled on my keyboard.

Will never get tired of seeing these beauties!
Has the season got off to a good start for your dorsalis then?

 

[aquapimp]

I would say so Graham. :biggrin: I was having good luck with my collection, then bought into a larger group of these beauties rather unexpectedly. Cant get enough of em!

Beautiful dorsalis

Are there any books/articles/sheets on care for these guys? Or does the A. felinus care apply to them as well? I'd be interested to read about them.

Their care is basically the same. And you're not likely to find much more detailed info than the felinus info that's right here on GU. Most of the main people previously and currently working with felinus are members of GU.

 

[aquapimp]

Care is nearly identical, I do keep them a tad warmer, in the low 80's during the day. The temps drop at night to about 70.

Glad to hear you're doing so well with these, Tom!
Have you noticed any differences in incubation from A. felinus?

beautiful gecko!!

Graham,

I have been keeping the dorsalis and felinus eggs in exactly the same manner. temps peak at about 76 and drift down to 70-71 degrees F. I have had troubles at first keeping the incubation media too wet on hatchrite. I followed Derek Dunlops protocol by keeping the eggs on perlite and seem to be enjoying more success ;-).
