I've seen a few P. l. angularis at Hamm before, so you should be ok to find a male

I'll keep on the lookout
Say if I found a breeder/supplier on the continent though, is it possible for the animal to be shipped over easy enough? I'm not sure what the process would be _________________ Steve P |

I have what i believe to be a male laticauda. 'He' is a stunner and keeps me entertained (distracted) whilst I should be working at my desk. They are so fast it is ridiculous, I can't believe he hasn't escaped yet (and I don't know what I'll do if he does). He feeds beautifully on curly flies and fruitflies, but hasn't got the nack of crickets yet (too jumpy). I've found his colour has become more vivid each shed and I'm sure it helps having full spec UV. I also mix vitamin supps into his fruit puree....day geckos are very rewarding and seemingly very intelligent animals....I will definitely get some more in the future, hopefully P.m.grandis... |

They are certainly very fast, brilliant to watch too. My individual is quite skittish, but from what I have read, most are quite shy. With slow and steady movements though, she stays in the same place she was when I walk into the room, and allows me to get really close. I think I'd like some quadriocellata, grandis or standingi next, but I'll concentrate on getting a mate for this one first  _________________ Steve P |

Shame we're so far away. I'd have been happy to let mine have his way with your gecko (presuming they're the same sub-species). You probably want a permanent mate as well....good luck with her anyway....lovely lizard |

I am looking for a permanent mate, I think my best bet for angularis will be at a rep show such as Hamm, but I'll ask about a bit more. Thanks for the stud gecko offer though . _________________ Steve P |
