anybody keep these? Not many, probably less than a handfull of people with sexed pairs in the UK
I very interested in these facinating creatures.
How are they best kept (enclosure) Cool and well vented from what I know but that's NOT based on actual experiance Wink

Are there alot about in the UK? as first question Wink

How much would I expect to pay for them? No idea now, but I doubt less than £100 each and even that to me is cheap

I guessed they would be at least £100,
Have you ever seen any Scott?
Do they often have them at Hamm?
If I was too get them I would probely go with getting a few unsexed juvies!

I think you would be very lucky to find a pair even at Hamm.

Do you not think there will be anyone that has got them or breeds them or can get hold of a few?
Are they the least common leaf tail?

I bought a pair about a year ago, cost me around 100 pounds (for the pair that is). But I think I was lucky there . Smile

They seem to be doing well in a cool, heavily planted viv with lots of small branches, room temps, no additional heat, just fluorescents to keep the plants happy. I mostly spray daily, but will skip the occasional day.
Very cool little gecko's. Haven't been able to find some more unfortunately Crying or Very sad

I'd buy another pair or two if I could.

£100 for the pair! Shocked

where did you get them from?

I know that Nerys keeps these gorgous little things - also Lizard Wizard breed and keep them Smile

Fascinating little things they are - would be right close to the top of my wish list if they were mroe widely available Smile
