Just testing the water, so to speak.

I am getting a few new additions brought in and i've been offered some geckos. As this is a new world for me i was hoping some of you could tell me if it would be worth me getting some of the following:

Cyrtodactylus pulchelus
Cyrtodactylus consobrinus
Stenodactylus petri
Stenodactylus doriae
Tropicolotes steudneri

Essentially i'm just looking for animals that other people will want so i can bulk out my order with these.

Stenodactylus are fairly popular.

Cyrtodactylus species are starting to gain a bit more popularity, I'd be interested in both pulchellus and consobrinus if I had the available funds and I know that quite a few others like those species. Not sure about stenos and tropiocolotes... They are certainly becoming more popular, mainly as a little gecko to fill small spaces lol but certainly more people are after them. I'd say largely because of their low prices... Not sure if they'd be worth importing in large numbers because of their price... The cyrtodactylus hold a bit of a higher value.

No worries, always happy to help, espcially if it means getting more cyrtodactylus in to the country... It really is a beautiful genus and I dont think it'll take long for their popularity to sore over here.... they very quickly became very popular over in the US... especially c. elok, they are very saught after over there and the market is starting to supply them a lot more now.

Hope that'll happen here, cause my first male and female have just mated, so after having 2 clutched now which have been from gravid imports I am awaiting my female to lay her first clutch bred in my care.

Hi Dan,
I'm looking for some stenodactylus so if you do start selling them could you let me know please as I'll buy some.

I'd pass on the Tropicolotes steudneri due to them being sooo small.The stenos are worth selling as they seem to be getting more popular and are still small but abit bigger.I'm not just saying that because i keep them. Very Happy

Also they aren't in the really high price range so most people and teenagers not yet working could possibly afford them.They are also prettily patterned.Well i think so anyway. Very Happy

This is my male.
