| Bavayia
cyclura 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 am still building group of these guys, but may be releasing a few babies in 2008.
Bavayia geitana 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 pair as well as a few eggs in the incubator. I don't expect to be selling any of these, until I build up my collection of them.
Bavayia robusta 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 trio of these guys and I should produce a few babies this year.
Cyrtodactylus elok 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 and hopefully next year I will be able to produce some F2 animals.
Diplodactylus stenodactylus Diplodactylus stenodactylus is a small slender gecko reaching a total length of about 3.5". They have almost translucent skin with cream blotches and a solid cream line running from the top of their head to the tip of their tail. This gecko inhabits a large portion of western Australia, the complete Northern Territory, the Northern portion of South Australia and Western Queensland. I currently have a small breeding group and should have some babies available in 2008.
Diplodactylus byrnei This is my favorite Diplodactylus species, they are like little dogs. They are not shy like most other Diplo. species and will come right out to meet you, and will eat right of your hand. Just a real comical gecko to watch. They are a slender gecko with a red blotched pattern. Although they can be tricky to produce I hope to have some offspring by the end of 2008.
Diplodactylus vittatus I am currently working with the solid striped form of this species, and they are just beautiful; most of the pictures out there of this species do not do them justice. In the wild they are found in most of New South Wales and southern Queensland. I don't expect to have any babies until late 2008.
Diplodactylus galeatus This has to be the most beautiful species of Diplodactylus out there! This is a large, robust gecko that reaches about 3.5 making it the biggest of all the Diplodactylus geckos.These geckos are found in the southern part of the Northern Territory and the northern part of South Australia. I should have some babies available in 2008.
Diplodactylus dameaum This is probably the most common Diplodactylus out there. This species gets about 4 inches long, and has a red base color with pastel beads running down the entire body (hence the common name "beaded gecko"). They are found in pockets of habitat in southeastern Australia.
Diplodactylus tesselatus These cool geckos are small and robust, similar to vittatus in body stucture.
Eurydactylodes agricolae 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.
Eurydactylodes vieillardi 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 have 2.2 right now and hopefully next year I will be able to produce some. Hopefully one day there will a stable population here in the US.
Nephrurus amyae This has long been one of my favorite geckos. They are just so bizarre looing and just so beautiful. This is the heaviest of all Australian geckos, with adult females reaching over 60 grams and reaching over 6 inches in length. In the willd they are found in rocky outcroppings in the deserts of the southern part of the Northern Territiory.
Phyllurus caudiannulatus 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, I am working with a small group of these an hope to breed them next year. I just love these australian leaftails!!
Phyllurus platurus
Rhacodactylus auriculatus
Rhacodactylus ciliatus Click a photo to learn more about the corresponding project.
Rhacodactylus sarasinorum 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, 2.3, and I should have some babies available in late 2008.
Rhacodactylus chahoua 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 lucky enough to have a small colony of this species and hope to be breeding them soon. As of now I only have the Pine Island type.
