Anyone keeping and breeding these and do you have any care info/setup advice?
Also, are there any good books out there that anyone can recommend on Australian Geckos? _________________ www.draco2.co.uk

I know that Urban Gecko have them I was just wondering if anyone in this country was working with them. I know Jas had some Dips but not this species as far as I can tell from his website, unless he is keeping them under lock and key
I've got the Rhac book for the arboreal gecks, there must be a good book covering terrestrial aussie geckos, I'll have to have a good look about. I'm fully stocked on reading for a little while, I just bought the VPI book  _________________ www.draco2.co.uk

I know I like reading about them [geek ]
Its just, most the good books are really expensive lol.
Im on a tight saving scheme !! lol
Keep me updated Claire, I know they have them at Hamm.
Jas probs has them, he has everything else.
They are about 1200 euros a pair of the very top of my head. _________________ Regards, Paul.

I work on the same principle with books that I do with my animals, it's not the paying for them that's the problem, it's finding the damn things!! And I'd prefer not to have to go all the way to germany for a pair or so o geckos I'm considering a trip to Houten though Hopefully Jas has some and then it'll be much easier, I don't travel well these days I just can't stick it.
There are a couple of species of gecks I'm looking into along with more Rhacs of course  _________________ www.draco2.co.uk

Sadly Jas doesnt have any of these hidden away
Would love to have a pair in my collection, not sure if there are any over here, even in Europe there doesnt seem to be that many for sale. _________________ www.Reptilebreeder.co.uk
