[cmclean]

As long as you aren't calling it the OMEN CHILD.... HAHA

 

[pugsly]

Poor buggers lonely!

 

[Reptile_Boy]

i will take em off ya hands if ya wont jason how much ya wont?

 

[hornet]

there are a few breeders but as with most Diplodactylus they arekept in quite low numbers. I have seen them in the wild and they are a lovley little gecko.

 

[Reptile_Boy]

any enclosure pics out there?? this will be my first gecko that i kept and tried to breed so i want every thing top be perfect

 

[Twiggz]

My i just suggest that you begin with a different species Reptile_Boy.
As first time keeping and breeding i'd be enclined to go for u.milii, n.levis, or possibly some oedura species.

 

[Rocket]

I'd still wouldn't suggest Oedura as beginner species either Twiggz. My personal recommendations are N.levis, U.milii or H.binoei.

 

[Twiggz]

Yeah i only put that down as their is a growing trends for people to say oedura.....personall i wouldn't know since i have none in my collection as yet.

Thickies or knobbies are certainly the way to go though.

 

[hornet]

my first gecko was a bynoes gecko, 2nd was Diplodactylus conspicilatus.

 

[JasonL]

Box patterns would make a fine first gecko, I have found them to be one of the easiest geckos I've kept, they lay heaps of eggs, just none of them hatch . Keep them pretty much the same as eastern stones, though their eggs hatch fine.

 

[Reptile_Boy]

u.milli, spiney, eastern stones i have kept but never bred geckos, and i reali reali reali want a box patterned

 

[Reptile_Boy]

but it wasnt for long
