Cat Geckos are a medium sized gecko found in Malaysia and the surrounding area. They are a very shy species, and I often see mine during the day curled up, just as a cat does. Though at night they move very much like Paroedura masobe, in which their care is similar to. I am currently working with Cameron Highlands and Johor Silver Eye locales. I had a few hatchlings in 2009, which I will be holding back to expand my colony. I already have eggs incubating now, so I maybe be releasing some of these in late 2011.
Bavayia cyclura are found on New Caledonia, Loyalty Islands, and
Isle of Pines. They are practically identical to B. robusta, just
they tend to be a tad smaller. They are very much like the robusta
personality wise and are very shy. I have offspring available throughout most of the year.
In comparison to other Bavayia, this species is quite calm. They are
also one of the most beautiful species of Bavayia. Almost all the geitana
in the U.S. are related, and this secies is still quite hard to come
by in captive collections. I currently have a small colony built up and will have offspring available throughout the year.
This species, like the Rhacodactylus, is native to New Caledonia. This species
was named in 2000, it was previously thought to be part of the cyclura complex.
This species is the biggest species of Bavayia with some specimens getting as
big as 6 inches. These guys are also wicked fast and can climb just about any
surface. I currently have a small group of these guys and should be releasing a number in 2011.
Cyrtodactylus is still fairly rare in collections and not many people think to much of this genus. I have been lucky enough to come across this species, and I have to say, they are some of the coolest geckos I keep. This species is very rare in the wild, and even more uncommon in captivity and most of the ones available are wild caught, but not these. I have put together a small group of some of the first captive bred animals in the world. In 2009 I produced a small number of F2 animals and so I hope this year to continue to establish a captive population of these incredible geckos.
This is a very beautiful Cyrtodactylus that is often never seen for how beautiful it is due to it almost always being offered as WC imports. I keep mine similar to the elok and they very fun to watch investigate their cage. They are found in Thailand and Malaysia as well as some of other surrounding islands. I had good success hatching these geckos in 2009 and I held all of them back to further my captive population consisting of F1 and F2 generations. I hope to produce even more in 2010 and may even release a few hatchlings.

Eurydactylodes agricolae are awesome little geckos, they usually top
out around 5" with males a little smaller than females. These geckos
are nocturnal but mine are also very active during the day. They are
incredibly strong for their size and they squeeze you when you pick them
up. They are also able to secrete a sticky substance from their tail.
They are found on New Caledonia and Koumac. I am currently keeping a
small breeding group and will have babies at different times throughout
the year.
Similar to Eurydactylodes agricolae in structure, the vieillardi get a tad bigger than agricolae. They have a few scalation differences as well. They also like it a little drier and warmer than agricolae. Very rare in US collections. I had quite good success producing these this past year and I expect 2011 to be even better! I should have some available sometime later this year.

This is truly a dream species for me, and I feel very lucky to get to work with such a fascinating gecko. They just have to be from another planet! Unlike the WC animals that have given these geckos a reputation of almost impossible to keep alive, my group of CB animals are actually very easy to keep. Native to Madagascar these geckos must be kept cool and humid. They are a large gecko with adults tipping the scales at around 30 grams. I have very high hopes for my masobe this year, hopefully 2011 will become the "Year of the masobe"! However I do not plan to be selling any of these in the near future.
Similar to Phyllurus platurus, except they lack the "leaf-tail". Instead they have a more pencil shaped tail, with 4-5 white bands extending down it. Found in the rainforests in Queensland, they are commonly found in tree hollows. Extremely rare in captivity!
Phyllurus platurus are one of my favorite geckos I keep. They are just so bizarre
looking! They are a fairly large gecko, a tad smaller than Saltuarius wyberba.
They live on sandstone outcrops in New South Wales, Australia. They aren't
very prolific and only lay 2-4 clutches a year. I currently work with a decent sized group of these guys and usually have some available
I just can not get enough of these Australian leaftails! Saltuarius wyberba get a tad larger than Phyllurus platurus. They also have a different coloration to match the granite outcrops it lives on. They do well if kept warmer and drier than other leaftails, but like other aussie leaftails these geckos are low producers that only produce 2-4 clutches a year.
These Rhacs are usually the first or second Rhac people
get, and for good reason, these geckos have some of the coolest personalities.
They are somewhat larger than Crested geckos and have "horns" on there
head. While these geckos also come in quite the array of colors, I personally
work mainly with high contrast black and white ones. However in 2011 I will also be breeding a number of some of the most colorful auriculatus I have ever seen, so it should be a very exciting year on all accounts with the aurics!

These Rhacs are the most underrated of all the Rhacs.
Personally I like them more than the cresteds. While they are known to be more
flighty, mine often will sit on my arm while I clean their cage and are very
placid animals. These Rhacs are bigger than the aurics and cresteds and are very
voracious eaters. As of now I keep a small group of 2.3 and I hope to have offspring available in 2011.

If someone told me a few years ago that I would someday own a pair of these one day, I would of thought they were crazy. This is just one of those dream species I still can't believe I have in my gecko room.
The Lesser Rough-Snouted Gecko (Rhacodactylus trachyrhynchus trachycephalus) is a smaller island sub-species of the Greater Rough-Snouted Gecko (Rhacodactylus trachyrhynchus trachyrhynchus). This species is one of the rarest geckos in the world, and is only found in the wild on a plot of land about the size of 4 city blocks. The lesser rough-snouted gecko reaches a total length of over ten inches
long.

These geckos have always appealed to me, their lichen coloration and their amazing eyes have made these geckos have hollowed out a special place inside of my heart. Native to New Caledonia, they are similar to most other Rhacodactylus. These geckos go nuts for insects though will eat fruits and the powdered diets just as well. I am currently working with both the Pine Island and Mainland type and hope to have offspring available in late 2011.
This is one of my favorite species of Uroplatus, I just love their eyes as well as their little beards. One of the biggest geckos in the genus Uroplatus, these geckos can reach about 12 inches long. I am also fascinated by how these geckos move, and they can jump quite far, especially if they have locked onto an insect. These geckos are isolated to a couple small habitat patches on the north and west coast of Madagascar. I hope to have offspring available in 2011.
This is the largest Uroplatus species with adults getting over a foot long, making it one of the largest geckos in the world for that matter. This species is found throughout the eastern portion of Madagascar in a variety of habitats.
