My NARBC: Chicago Additions (DUW)

[jknudson]

I only brought home geckos this show, I was a pretty good boy.

First a CB 1.1 pair of Phelsuma madagascariensis grandis (Madagascar Giant Day Geckos)
Here's the Female, a bit larger, definitely feistier!






And the male, he darkened a bit after I put him in his temporary cage, but went right to eating his Phelsuma diet.






And I also picked up a few new leopard geckos to start a fun project. 1.2
Here's the two females:








And the male:






Thats all of the pictures for now, got them all set up, and settling in.

The show was amazing! Tons of people there, but still got to see everything...which was a good thing, but then I wanted to spend more money than I had with me. I can't wait for Daytona 07'

Beautiful animals!! Wow! That gecko in the top pics doesn't even look real! (Are you sure they didn't slip a plastic toy into your deli cup? )

Positive! She moves (alot) and tries to bite.

I got a heck of a deal on them!

Congrats! I love the first pics. You gotta submit one of those for HOTM!

Thanks Christie! Geckos are so much fun to photograph! The PM grandis are easy cheesy to photo, but those leos never stop moving!

Those leo pictures were my first photo attempt with a "light box". I just used a white styro from work, with a flouro daylight bulb to light it...problem is that the leos can climb the sides of the box, thinking they are cresteds or something!

Here you go and setup a nice photoshoot for them and they have to exit stage left. All climbing aside, still some excellent photos!

Neat. I'm not really up on the leopard gecko morphs, what are your considered?

[jknudson]

Females
1.) Super Tangerine (could be considered Carrot-Tail as well, has growing to do, so I'll not be certain about exact morph until full grown.)
2.) Super Hypo Tangerine (SHT)

Male
Super Hypo Tangerine Carrot Tail (SHTCT)

Cool. I pegged your male correctly at least.

I've got a pair of SHCT's, one of which is het for albino and one is albino
Thought about getting day geckos ages ago, decided not to though. Got the Christensen's book first.

I just call them my tang group....I don't like how with leos subtle differences give them different morph names...like spotting on the body/head/amount of orange on tail....etc.
