New Cyrtodactylus irianjayaensis and Ghyra marginata pairs

[T-ReXx]

These guys got here yesterday. I apologize for the somewhat low quality point and shoots, but they a) weren't particularly cooperative and b) are new so I didn't want to stress them too much. Both pairs are imports.

First is a pair of "Giant Bent Toed geckos" Cyrtodactylus irianjayaensis. These guys are crazy cool. The male has a large, fairly freshly-healed scar on his nose(healthy pink skin not yet covered in scales) so I dubbed him Scarface. His girlfriend, is of course, Elvira.

And then we have Dozer and Loki, a pair of Halmahera Giant Geckos Ghyra marginata. These guys are commonly mislabled as "vorax" geckos, which is incorrect, Ghyra vorax is incredibly rare, and has amber eyes, while these, as you can see, have green. Bad pics I know, but they're quick as lightning and haven't been handled at all yet, they also tend to do the "squirrel thing" where they sidle around to the opposite side of the branch as you. :main_laugh:

Nope, these guys are pretty mellow geckos. I would compare their attitude to that of the average crestie; a bit jumpy at first but settle down pretty quick with some hand-walking. Neither has showed any signs of trying to bite. But then, neither has either of my pair of intermedius. They are a lot more slow moving than the intermedius though, move more like a Uroplatus.
