New Stenodactylus Sthenodactylus

Little Geckos...Huge Personality!

I haven't had these guys very long, but they've been tons of fun already. I've never seen a gecko as animated while feeding. Their tails almost never stop! Hope you enjoy the pics. :main_thumbsup:

Male on the right female on the left...Just missed the boy licking his eye

Female eye shot (through glass)

The male is the biggest one (for now anyway...all still juvies)

They had little burrows everywhere after the first night. I happened to catch this girl trying to feed from her hole.

After a quick lap, she finally got it!

Finally got the lights up. She's just deciding where to hide...

Thanks for looking!

Wow those are some nice geckos u have there!

 

[AllGeckos]

Those are cool how big do they get?

 

[Kristi23]

They're so cute!

 

[MonteQ's]

They'll get about 3-4 inches when full grown. They're about 2 inches tails and all at the moment.

Glad to see they are settling in! Had 3 more hatch this last week. Hope they do well for you.

What's the common name? They look awesome!

Thanks guys, They've been a blast so far!

Steve- They're doing great! Thanks again!! The boy's been a little shy, but he's getting bolder by the day. Females are out running a muck as soon as the lights go out ;o) They actually hit a wall in their mining operations...pics soon...someone took my cable?

If you get a chance I'd love to see pics of the babies!


Brendan- Their common name is "Israeli Dune (Sand) Geckos" there's a few other subspecies that are pretty similar...here's a few care sheets:
