leachie questions

[Bodon]

Hi everybody, im going to a reptile show next Sunday and ive been looking at Leachies but there doesnt seem to be very much info online compared to other geckos. Can anyone give me some info on them or post pics of their leachie? It seems like they are much like cresteds.

I asked the same question, I joined another forum for rhac geckos and read up a lot.

They are just like Cresties.

They do have their own type of CGD type powder, it has more fiber I believe.

I have heard when they are young they need pretty small enclosures or else they won't feel secure. Then you can slowly move them up to a larger tank, if they stop eating, put them back in the smaller one.

That's it, and everything else is like Crestie care, except a taller tank.

Ok, thats pretty much what ive been reading too, i hope there is a breeder at the show so i can talk to one of them.

what show are you going to andrew? i forget what party of pa you said you were from. the 2 i go to in pittsburgh dont have any breeders, but i think there was a few at the all ohio show, and central ohio show.

Its the one in Cheswick PA, its called the Pittsburgh Reptile and Bird Show. Real close to Monroeville i think. I also go to the one in Mars Pa when i can. I live in the central part of the state, real close to State College.

yea, i believe the next show is this sunday at cheswick. chuck from "rhac and roll" reptiles has leachie breeders but i dont think they have laid any eggs yet. hes quite knowledgeable about them so make sure to talk to him when u go!

David Loftin and Tamara of Geekus Maximus are the only leechie breeders that I know of personaly. you could try to pm them.

Yes i know Chuck, hes a nice guy, thats where my two cresteds came from actually. But thanks for the info.

 

[brian547]

heh, sorry andrew, i suppose you already know that since YOU were the one whom initially told me about chuck and that he breeds gargs lol. my bad.

 

[Bodon]

oh haha no problem, it happens but i had no idea about leachies and if he bred them.

there is usually only one vendor at the all ohio show that has leachies. i personally think they are over priced and not very good quality(healthy but not pretty) leachies. they rarely have small ones though. i have seen them for reasonable prices on kingsnake.com though. you might even be able to find some in the classifieds here on gf too.

Andrew, Here's a link to Genevieve's Geckos. http://www.genevievesgeckos.com/ I think she's up there in Ithaca, NY but attends PA area shows. She specializes in Rhacs and She may have some Leachies now. Can't hurt to contact her.

I REALLY want a Leachie too! But can't afford one just yet. The best info I found about them are on: http://www.forums.repashy.com. You may be able to find a couple other Northeast breeders there as well.

Good luck! And don't forget to post pics when you get one!
