Caught my male U.phantasticus like this the other day. Visually, these animals truly do fit their moniker “Satanic Leaf Tailed Gecko” with such intense leaf mimicry. The range of patterns and colors on this species is very well documented, and it’s been incredible seeing what variation is being worked with by various other hobbyists. Keeping my fingers crossed for success with them this year 😬

One of the male Gekko smithii, or “Green Eye Geckos” is out fairly consistently, while the female guards their eggs in a cork round. Like Tokays, these geckos exhibit a level of guardianship and protection over their eggs, lunging at any attempts to go near the cork round. Hoping for some babies come April!

I’ve finally gotten to taking some pics of the new Uroplatus phantasticus now that they’re settled. This female is a stunner, firing a deep red. I look forward to seeing how her colors develop as she grows!

An uncommon sight for me, one of the Pachydactylus tigrinus out to grab some discoids. These little arid geckos are easy to keep and extremely entertaining to watch. I’ve just started to get eggs from my pairs in the past couple months, which is always a highlight of keeping these incredible animals.

A female Strophurus ciliarus out for a bask. I don’t post these guys close to enough! They are one of the most impressively decorated geckos out there, and makes for a fascinating animal to observe. This female has some particularly nice contrast in her patterns!

This brightly colored individual is a Yucatán Banded Gecko, or Coleonyx elegans. Coleonyx is a genus within Eublepharidae that is distributed through Southwestern North America through Central America. There can be much variation in the patterns amongst species, which is exhibited very well through this beautiful individual hailing from .sphere . Their sleek bodies and vivid patterns and colors make for a fascinating New World addition to all gecko collections.

Excited to be vending the new in a couple weeks! Alongside and we’ll be bringing captive bred geckos, tortoises, and colubrids. You won’t want to miss this selection!

Noi, my largest female Goniurosaurus orientalis, sneaking out of her log to lick her bowl of calcium. At about five years old now, she’s still lively as ever and has been spending the season with Shin, one of my males. The variation of the patterning on the Japanese caves is quite impressive, even as the almost neon orange colors fade as the geckos age. Very pleased she wasn’t hiding for once lol.

Here are my favorite Crested hatchlings from this summer. Focus on the red projects has truly paid off, and I’m stoked about the variety here. Still plenty more eggs cooking, so in the coming shows I will have quite a few of these guys available.

Back from a bit of a hiatus with another Goniurosaurus species to post! Here is a beautiful male Goniurosaurus yamashinae, another species hailing from Japan. Instead of the deep oranges sported by orientalis, kuriowae and similar species, G.yamashinae sport vivid yellow striping and gold eyes. This is a species I’m very excited to work with this next season. #goniurosaurusyamashinae #cavegecko #cavegeckosofinstagram #geckos

Ever seen a pink-line G.orientalis? Recently had the privilege of adding this male to this year’s line up. I’ve heard mixed statements of how these colors show in offspring, and am very interested in seeing for myself. Huge thanks to @alim0ny.hobbies and @guardiansofthegeckos for getting this guy and another female into the projects! #japanesecavegecko #goniurosaurusorientalis #cavegecko #reptilesofinstagram

The term “Chinese Cave Gecko” is a great example of the confusion that common names present in the world of herpetoculture. As with countless other blanket common names, this term covers a variety of species, not just G.hainanensis. That long-winded introduction brings us to one of my favorite species, Goniurosaurus bawanglingensis. This is another Chinese Goniurosaurus, populating Bawangling on the island of Hainan. This species has a serious color change from baby to adult, with deep oranges and reds turning to varying shades of yellow. I also find their eyes seem to get very dark red, as shown here on Kaido, a three year old male. I expect to have another great season with these geckos, which make a fantastic addition to Eublepharid projects. #goniurosaurusbawanglingensis #bawanglingcavegecko #bawangling #cavegecko #exoticpets

A close up of one of the more draconic geckos, the Australian Spiny-Tailed Gecko (Strophurus ciliarus). This species is quite variable in coloring, and the “horns” by their eyes vary in size amongst individuals. This will be my first year producing this species and I’m looking forward to working with them more this year. #strophurusciliarus #australianspinytailedgecko #australiananimals #gecko

A subadult female Goniurosaurus orientalis. The Japanese Cave Geckos stand out as some of the most vibrant of Eublepharidae, between vivid markings and bright red eyes. This female has been exhibiting particularly bright oranges since she was a hatchling. #japanesecavegecko #goniurosaurusorientalis #gecko #lizards #explore
