Leachies!

[bleeding_sarcasm]

While I was in gecko picture mode, I snapped a few of my leachies too.

last night and today, I went through and took a bunch of leachie pics

Ironically, the geckos that I get the MOST picture requests for, are the same geckos that I dont have any decent pictures of, because they are SO HARD to photograph. Something up to 8 inches, i can deal. 4-6 id prefer. but 10+ pssh, all you can get is their face, and even that with the way they run around.. its hard to say the least haha.

Whoah! Those are awesome! I don't think I've ever seen this kind of gecko before, do you have more info on these guys? They're so cool, I'd love to learn more.... awesome pics too!

Thanks They are my favorite geckos, Rhacodactylus leachianus or New Caledonian Giant Gecko. They are cousins to Cresteds and Gargoyle Geckos. There are 2 Sub species, R. leachianus henkeli, which is the island species, with many different locales. The first is a male "Bayonaise" henkeli, and the last is a female "Island E" henkeli, The second animal is R. leachianus leachianus from the main island of grande terre. And the 3rd is another henkeli female, but I dont know where she is from, so I have to assume she is a mutt. They are an awesome species, that grow to be very large, and they are very vocal, and often wake me up at night with all their clicks and growls.

Great pics! I want one SO bad. We know a guy who breeds them that lives about 8 miles away. Keith won't let me go over there because he's afraid that if I get to hold one I'll sell one of the cars to buy a bunch or something. lol
