[reptilegecko]

Just thought i would share some of my own geckos, I currently own.
I have a breeding colony of Naultinus grayii, Naultinus elegans elegans (both green and yellow), and Mokopirirakau granulatus.
I currently own 3 Mokopirirakau granulatus (1M, 2F)

I have given away one breeding colony of (1M 2F) to my best friend, and given away a few females, aswell.
I own 3 adult Naultinus grayii, (2M 1F), and three babies, from a few weeks ago

Thank you for sharing! I especially love your photos of the baby grayii!

Your threads give Geckos Unlimited depth and excitement! :cheer:

I have two morphs, The green morph, and the yellow morph!

and my 26 year old (older than me :crackup female! still going strong, in fact, this year she is gravid, and is swelling with babies, which im expecting in the next few months!

And my stunning green male, the most strikingly patterned!

And... The Yellow Elegans!
My heavily gravid female! very fat, expecting in the next few weeks-months!

And my stunning male! again, the most strikingly coloured

aaand, another female.

I have four of each colour morph
and to clear it up, Colour is the correct spelling over here, color is what i mean by saying colour
Oh, and if you were wondering if i did any good with these animals, YES :biggrin:
I do educational programs at local schools, to hep educate the children on NZ native wildlife... they are captivated by live animals!



Yeah, i know, im not pretty, but it doesnt matter to me, im ok with how i look

 

[Elizabeth Freer]

Can I mention that you're handsome? (No worries there.)

You are correct! I did wonder about ongoing gecko contributions like you're making here when we chatted. Just look at those inquisitive and grateful kids! What fun! :biggrin: I used to do school outreaches too.

Mother Earth's future is in the hands of people like you and the children who catch the excitement about our fauna.

:cheer: for sharing with GU, too! I love it!

Thank you so much for sharing all of these great photos!
I'm totally smitten with some of New Zealand's geckos. I wish that there were a way to get them to our side of the world, but I guess I'll have to settle for your gorgeous photos!
Again, PLEASE keep sharing your photos! (that way I can keep drooling over here)

Also, does anybody else think it's funny that one of the best colored geckos has "gray" in it's scientific name?!?! LOL

"Naultinus grayii was originally described by Thomas Bell in 1843. The specific name, grayii, is in honor of British herpetologist John Edward Gray."

Gecko Times ?

Gecko Time online magazine (www.geckotime.com/archives). I'm still hoping for this article, but the writer has had family issues and hasn't been able to produce it yet.
