Dobby the frog-eyed gecko

[Lucara]

My little Dobby =D. Not sure how old he is. Hes VERY territorial but once hes out of his cage he calms down a lot.
I've tried finding a mate for him but I can't seem to find one..

Anywho, this is Dobby!

oh my, Dobby sure is CUTE!
I have an e-friend that has a frog-eyed gecko or two.
Not sure if he'd be willing to part with them, though.

Are they pretty easy to care for?

 

[Lucara]

I suppose. I keep mine like a leopard gecko. Its kind of hard to find info on them. =/ Hes done perfect fine for the 5 months I've had him. Hes a big eater but says in the back of his cage where its dark.

Hes SUPER cool when he gets mad. His tail sounds like a rattle snake. Its really weird. I"m going to try to catch it on video one of these days.

wow thats different he is cute i like the whole big eye thing he has going on

He looks just like my boy, Manson! So cute! I just love their faces. Ours is 6-7 years old now.

Very pretty. I thought you aren't suppose to handle them much because their skin can be torn easily?

very very cute!

Heck if I know. I rarely handle mine only because hes so territorial, its hard to get him out. I'm always ultra gentle anyway with them because I HATE the look of geckos who have lost their tails. His skin has never torn in the few times I've taken him out though.

They do have very sensitive skin and the scales can easily tear. We only handle ours when we clean out his tank. I also make sure my nails never touch him.

What an awesome little dude!

 

[gitrdone0420]

lol, Dobby is very interesting looking! =]

 

[Neo.Reptiliac]

You just got to love those big eyes and short nose! T.T I might have to get me some. Ive been debating doing so. Darn you!!!!

 

[Lucara]

Lol if you find any let me know!!! I can't find anyone with them

What species is mine exactly? If I google teratoscincus and then separate species they all kinda look a bit a like. They mix the pictures together.

 

[Neo.Reptiliac]

Teratoscincus Przewalski
Banded Frog Eye Gecko

 

[Lucara]

I don't think so, hes not banded. He looks more like the Teratoscincus scincus keyserlingi
or something along those lines?

Oh he's so cute! We had some of these at the store where I used to work. They seemed pretty easy to take care of and don't seem like they stress as easily as other geckos. At least, in my experience. They're care is very much like a leopard geckos but they LOVE to dig probably more than leos. Of course, this is all from my experience with them. Your guy seems really laid back though. Love that little smile of his. He's got some nice colors on him too! The ones we had were just brown with darker brown spots.
