    Default A few of our Australian Strophurus gecko's...

    Ohhhh. A good studbook would be an incredible thing, but so hard to out together. You would have to rely on hobbyists to have excellent communication with the originator. And let's face it, most of us are flakes. We disappear for months at a time lol

    And don't fret any, I am sure nobody reading this thread feels as though you guys are advocating smuggling. And like I said before, for a non primary language, your English is excellent. Better then quite a few Americans I know lol

    As I live in Victoria, I am unable to keep this type of gecko.

    Why is that?
    They are actually 4 different types, but all from the Strophurus genus.

    We have wildlife licensing laws.


    Without a license we can keep a Marbled Gecko (Christinus marmoratus)


    With a Wildlife Basic License (Victoria)


    * Beaded Gecko (Lucasium damaeum)
    * Bynoe's Gecko (Heteronotia binoei)
    * Desert Cave Gecko (Heteronotia stelea)
    * Eastern Stone Gecko (Diplodactylus vittatus)
    * Marbled Velvet Gecko (Oedura marcrurus)
    * Pale Knob-tailed Gecko (Nephrurus llaevissimus)
    *Smooth Knob-tailed Gecko (Nephrurus Levis)
    * Southern Spiny-tailed Gecko (Strophurus intermedius)
    * Southern Spotted Velvet Gecko (Oedura tryoni)

    i'm not sure what you can keep on an "advanced license" but I don't believe Strophurus are on this license either.

    Ah okay, we didn't knew that.
    So you can only keep Strophurus intermedius with a license.
    And these laws are only in Victoria? We have seen some other Strophurus species than intermedius being kept in captivity in Australia but that might have been in another part of the country.

    We are now waiting to get a pair of Strophurus wellingtonae.
    We also keep Nephrurus amyae, and we are planning to add Saltuarius wyberba to our collection in the neir future.

    I am new to wildlife keeping. Only obtain my basic license in June and at this stage only have a "green tree frog" and some "spotted marsh frogs". I was only planned to keep frogs you didn't need a license for but my "brown tree frog" morphed in a "green tree frog".

    The licensing law vary from state to state.

    I didn't know till tonight that we had 141 species of geckos, 17 being "Strophurus"
