Nice. You have quite a few there. Lets hope this years breeding goes well. More of this species should be established in the pet trade. They are so easy to keep and breed. Keeping them cold enough in winter is the only challenge. I like that second photo the most.

Thanks.

Bushviper the only thing with the smaller gecko species in the Pachydactylus group is feeding the hathclings for the first few months nothing else but the tiniest of crickets will do i. Other then that they are great very active species took great in a nice display tank.

Great photos. What substrate were you using in the first 2 shots?

Thanks froot, that "substrate" is in fact is a piece of thick bark.
I use it in most of my enclosures leaning against the sides for a vertical hide/cover.

Brilliant Photos, No 4 is awesome!

When BV said they easy to keep and breed is this because the indigenous or are they just pretty hardy animals?

Thanks for sharing :-D
