Halmahera geckos

Halmahera geckos are hard to come by.  Most on the market are wild caught and get sick and die rather quickly.  They don't acclimate well.  I have captive bred (CB), wild caught (WC) On the verge of- and long term wild caught in captivity- long term captive (LTC).

I purchased my first Halmahera gecko from an expo.  WC and dead in days.  I learned a hard lesson super fast.


My next was purchased as LTC.  He is huge.  He is glorious.  He made me fall in love with the species.

I went on to purchase to CB babies that are coming along great and look to be a male and female.

I do keep my eye out for Halmahera geckos on the market and found a pair that were LTC.  The previous owners said that they had had them for a year. They were crazy wild when I first got them back in April, 2018.  Over the past 4 months they have settled down a bit.

The key with these geckos is- Never grab at them.

Archibald

This little boy is a blessing and a curse.  He really is wonderful overall.  He does like to find his cozy spots.

I get up hours before everyone else on the weekend.  His solution- sleep in my spot.

Oh, his precocious.

Where there is a pillow, there is a bed.

Where there is a doll, there is a bed.

Where there is a people, there is a bed.

Cuddles

Where there is a blanket, there is a bed.

Where there is an ankle, there is a bed.

Where there is a leg, there is a bed.

Updated photos of the Frogs

I never tire of these guys.  I have had them for a little over 4 years.  I purchased them from Craigslist along with their 10 gallon aquarium.  They have gone through a couple upgrades and now reside in a 36"w x 18"d x 24"h planted terrarium.  The photos below vary in color based on the frog and lighting.  Not a pet for holding but very wonderful to listen to, watch, and photograph.
