Hello all,
In talking to my lovely wife about her apartment searching in Boston, we got around to discussing which animals I am keeping. And . . . she said the roaches take up too much room. I had been suspecting that that would be the case, as places in Boston are small, especially those in our price range.
She didn't mind my keeping the geckos, but suggested I buy crickets for them. I don't want to deal with that mess. Never have, never will. So if the roaches have to go, my every day to every other day insect-eaters have to go.
These are WC, legally collected geckos that I collected for no other purpose but my own personal use. They cannot re-released, obviously, and they cannot be sold. It's against the law to sell AZ native wildlife or the offspring of AZ native wildlife.
I have one adult female and one adult male, as well as two almost-adult males. I kept trying to get a male that was big enough to fertilize her eggs and only caught one this year. I thought the first one I caught would grow a lot faster than they do, and I overestimated the size of the second one when I caught it in the field only to bring it home and see that he was still a lot smaller than she. I've been told that these can be kept communally, but that the males will nip each others' tails. So now I have the small males housed separately from the big male and female. All appear to be healthy. None have been wormed or anything like that. All eat roach nymphs with relish. The adult female will sleep out in the open in the food dish. She's hardly even shy. You will really enjoy these geckos. They are cute and have funny little personalities.
I like these geckos a whole lot, and would like them to go to someone who will try to breed them. There aren't really too many people who are breeding these things (although there are a few) and there's no reason why you couldn't be one of them! I've been trying, and I think the female is going to drop soon now that she's been housed with a capable male for a little bit. She did lay fertile eggs for me last year but they molded (my fault I'm sure).
I would like to see updates on them from time to time and I would like to eventually be able to get some CB offspring down the road, if the breeding thing pans out.
These are free of charge but you pay overnight shipping. Since these are geckos, they can go USPS.
Obviously, I reserve the right to be choosy.
Here are some pics of the adults. I'll get some photos of the subadult males soon, but one is stripey and the other stripes and spots.

Sigh . . . gosh darnit. I will miss them.
