Hey guys it's me again.. You still remember my drunken snake dealer? The one who brought a bag of vipers, literally? Well lucky for me he hasn't forgotten about me during my 4-month absence.
He had a deal someplace nearby so he decided to drop-by my new petplace and give me a welcome home gift, 2 pairs of a first generation captive-bred Bow-fingered gecko, Cyrtodactylus mamanwa.
At first I wasn't really impressed by them or the fact that they look like my normal house geckos, but a week later they've already won my heart. I only kept a pair since I wasn't really confident about my Gecko Mastery just yet and the other pair I shipped off to a friend in Croydon somewhere in England.
Hydrating in warm water, a little coconut juice & a little honey..
Inside their quarantine enclosure. First day, first dinner (female had obvious unshed skin left -__-)
What my pair looks like a week after they first arrived. Showing off their normal male/female coloration. I can't believe they were doing a courtship chase on my hand while I'm taking pictures. Guess they don't mind doing it in public -__-
Stunning male coloration.. Nuff said..
Start your weekend right!
oooh their nice :}
I would focus on size first then morph so you could get a big beautt
Ah, your here too.
As i have said before, they are awesome.
Greets, Tamara and Kevin.
Haha, great. We keep some frogs too.., and a bearded dragon, a few chameleons, and some Abronia's.
But mostly gecko's though.
Greets.
You don't wanna get me started on how many animals i have and keep. The guys here and every forum I'm on knows hahaha!
Chameleons are rare in our trade and pretty expensive which is ridiculous.
A few years ago i only had a tokay, a female flying gecko and a single leo. Now i have 4 leos and 2 cyrtos. Never thought i'd like geckos since i am a skink person lol
Dear lord, i heard them make a sound for the first time. Nothing like any tokay or house gecko sound I've heard -__-
Great that you heard them call, i always love hearing that.
Wich species of skink do you keep? We never had any ourself but are thinking of adding some to our collection in the future, we realy like Corucia zebrata and Egernia depressa, but on top of our skink wanted list has to be T. rugosa aspera. Too bad for a pair of them they cost abouth the same amount as a small car. Same goes for the depressa.
Mabuya multifasciata & multicarinata (my feeder lizard colony), Lamprolepis smaragdina, Sphenomorphus cumingi and Tropidophorus grayi..
Oh i love Egernias but i have no friend abroad who has a spare to do a species shipping swap lol.. I'd probably have a Corucia by next year. They're impossible to find here so fortunately someone was willing to do an international trade lol
