LIZARDS

Nephrurus wheeleri cinctus
Geckos and especially Australian geckos have always interested me. Knobtailed geckos have an interesting alienlike look with big wobbly heads, huge eyes and a weird knobby tail! Some people call these guys pitbull, I can only agree. They will defend their territory if they have to!
Only a few years ago, these guys where still very rare in captive collections. Due to great breeding succeses they've become a lot more affordable and I think a lot of people will be introduced to this species soon!
 

 

Oedura monilis
Possibly the best startergecko from the Australian continent. Easy to care for, great personalities and a stunning look! White, yellow, brown, purple, blue, black and creme. All colors that these guys have! They undergo a change in colors during the night, making them a wonderfull species!
These guys defenitly aren't shy and will even bite when threatend! They prefer to flee though...
During mating both animals make little noises and swing their tales.
 

 

Eurydactylodes agricolae
Breathtaking little buggers! These guys seem to be invisible from time to time. You can be looking them in the eyes, get distracted by a cricket and completely lose track of these geckos. Its incredible how well these small New Caledonian geckos are camouflaged! They are just as easy to keep as crested geckos but are still a lot less kept.
I won't be breeding a lot of these in the coming years. Even though my animals are in prime condition, our focus in the coming years will be on gartersnakes and Australian pythons. We'll let nature take its course and all young that are born, are more then welcome!
