WOW, that is so cool.
Geckos are cool! I forgot to mention my Rhacodactylus sarasinorum. They
look like cat geckos on steriods! ;) Looking forward to hearing all
about your new geckos!

I only keep R. l. leachianus and
Tarentola d. gigas as of now, although i'm getting a pair of cresteds
and a strophurus c. ciliaris soon! thanks for the warm welcome, i hope

Re: [gecko]new Member of the GGA
Hi Brandon,
I have been working with geckos for over 20 years. I now work with
about 50+ species, many Phelsuma (Day Geckos, my favorite), Leopards
(Tangerines, Jungles and hypos are my favorites), miscellaneous geckos
from Madagascar (Pareodura picta (pictus) and Pareodura androyensis,
two great ground geckos; Uroplatus phantasticus and U. ebenaui (cool
small nocturnal gex), and some great New Caledonians (Rhacodactylus
ciliatus, R. leachianus (Grande Terre and Pine Island forms) amd R.
ariculatus. I also like the Namib Desert geckos; I work with
Chondrodactylus angulifer angulifer and C. angulifer namibensis. I also
have worked with Webfoots, Palmatogecko rangei, who also live in that
desert. I would really like to work with Ptenopus, the barking gecko
that lives there. They are hard to get though. I have Teratoscincus (T.
roborowski and T. keyserlingi), some Ptychozoon kuhli (Fan-foots),
Oedura (O. castelnaui and O. monilis) and a great small guy from
Africa, Pachydactylus tigrinis. I also am a sucker for any Coleonyx and
have many (C. variegatus, C. variegatus bogerti, C. brevis, C. elegans
and C. mitratus).
Some monsters I have are Gehyra vorax. I have a pair that is supposed
to be from New Guinea. The female has figured out how to escape the
cage - the male has not (LOL!). I keep finding the female in different
interesting places in the gecko room. I have an open giant tub of
leopards on the floor. One week she decided to hang out with them and
stayed with them in their hidebox! I think she does not know what she
is! A week or so ago I found her with the male again, then gone again!
This week she is on the Pareodura picta shelf. I wonder what they
think! ;)
I like 'em big, small and medium. Don't care what size! The small guys
have their own charm and I am glad over the years more folks are seeing
that. If you wonder what these guys look like go to the GGA photos,
most of them are pictured there.
Welcome to our world!!!!!!!!

some back issues, but i get no reply from the "bookstore", is there a
number i can call that anyone knows of?
Thanks!
