Banded Geckos

noexcuse4you · Banded Geckos

I caught a few banded geckos the other night and decided to keep them. I love them! I have 1 male and 2 females. They're so small and cute! They even talk to me sometimes.

Here they are in their hide. The one in the middle is the male. The two females have regenerated tails, but I still love them.

I just got a pair of these, hopefully between the two of us we can get these to start breeding =]

That would be illegal without permits...

And you are unlikely to get them because CA DFG is stingy about them(and even with the captive propagation permit it is illegal to sell any naturally occurring morph).

Soo... GL, hope for albinos.
