Hi Rudders,I was saying what Vosjoli states(Giantgeckos.com).That it's only type C's that attain the 13inch plus size.It would be good to see some pics of your beast,I'm feeding mine Leachies diet,do you add any thing else to their diet e.g pinkies.

Hi,I feed mine on a mix of crested and gargoyle diet with pinks once a week and occasional roaches.I will have to try and get some photo's of her and post them here.All my leachies are fed the same and seem to do well two of my male henkeli are over 10 inches and the female is 9 3/4 and will hopefully be breeding next season

Thanks mate,how many Leachies do you have.Do you keep your gt pairs together and have you noticed that they are less tollerant than the Henkeli towards each other.

Here's a photo of my friend's G.T. Mt Koghis type A (according to Repashy) male:

As you can see he's a big boy - approximatey 12inches +.

He's gorgeous,thanks Jackie.How are yours coming on.

They're doing great. My adult (the female) is slowing down for the winter now. She's only feeding once or twice a fortnight now. My male (yearling) is still eating really well. At this rate he should be a good size this time next year. If all goes well I'll hopefully be breeding them the year after.

Have yours settled in?

Their getting there Jackie,female comes out for a cuddle now and again,males a complete sod Laughing

he's so full of himself,so haven't handled him at all.I've just about completed their joint viv,which is 52inches highx3ft widex2ft deep,it looks great and only cost me about 20 quid as the cabinet and glass was given to me.I'll probably introduce them to the new home sometime next week,so pics soon Wink

I have only the one GT at the moment and five henkeli,I know a number of people who have breed these and as long as the pair accept each other there seems little problem.I also know of others who will not have another leachie any where near them and have proved impossible to breed.

Awesome Rudders,so that's Yates,was she bred in the UK.I'm hoping the bigger Viv will make the male more tolerant of the female,but knowing my luck it won't Rolling Eyes

We will see.If not I'll have a Koghis male going spare if you want him Laughing
