Gecko I.D.

[ReptileNinja101]

Need some help IDing a gecko. Looking through some classifieds and can't figure out what this guy is. If I remember its around 11in long. Is it a rough snouted gecko? The eyes seem to be throwing me off.

It is a rough snouted gecko or Rhacodactylus trachyrhynchus. They are kept similarly to other Rhacs. They are fairly expensive in the hobby right now as females usually only produce 2 offspring a year since they are the only live bearing species of gecko in the world.

That's not entirely true. The New Zealand Green Geckos, genus Naultinus also bear live young.

Just working my way into rhacs, working with cresteds, and gargs. Not too familiar with that guy, but learnt something new today

Turns out its not a rough snout. Went to see it in person today. Its pretty big close to 12 1/2 inches. Any idea what it is? To me it looks like a Gehyra Marginata/Vorax or Oceanica. I've heard that marginata have green eyes and vorax have brown is this true?

Nevermind I figured it out. It's a Madagascar Giant Velvet Gecko. Homopholis boivini or Blaescodactylus boivini. Anybody know about care with these guys?
