Rhacodactylus leachianus (leachianus) Mont Doré

[Yann]

Hi!!

May I introduce you to my newest habitant.

This is a 20 years old (+/- 1 yr) field collected (when young) male Rhacodactylus leachianus from Mont Doré locality

He is a really calm and peacefull animal and really a joy to have him with me now.

He sustained when young in the wild an eye injury that left him blind from its left eye, but it doesn't bother him much, he is just slightly more vigilent when sounds or vibration comes from that side.

All the best
Cheers

Hello

I found the other week duds eggs from my old lady. I knew she had laid eggs, actually I think she had done it several times, but only found eggs now. At least it is good to know she still can lay
I am waiting that the young male will be big enough and sexualy mature to put him with her.

The young male is still doing good and growing.

She loves bimaculatus crickets

You can see her dysfunctional eye.
