Does any one have knobs?

I know the guys (BHMorrill & jgjulander) from Australian Addiction work with knobs...they have some pretty sweet looking ones at that! I'm sure they'd have any information that you are looking for Laura. Check out their website.

Thanks Jason!

I'm just curious about them.... haveing not ever seen them before! They are so charming to look at....

Gonna go read up right now!

not being able to export a species doesn't necessarily mean limited quantities of them will be available--it really depends on how prolific the animals are and how many are currently in captivity. look at cresteds--no geckos have been allowed out of new caledonia in a while, yet they are in no short supply! however, chahouas and especially certain locals of leachianus can be hard to come by because they are not nearly as prolific as cresteds.

I agree in the case of cresties but that's because theyre so popular for everyone. And yeah how prolific they are does matter too, but the chahouas and the leachies were never really at the popularity that cresties were so it would make sense that even if they were as prolific then they would still be expensive are not as readily available. I think even more then how often they breed or how many eggs they lay is how mainstream they are, or were while they were still allowed to be brought out of their native country.

...if they are not common as others, I would think it is because they generally carry a decent price tag...If I remember correctly, alot of the species were only recently imported from Europe/Asia. But I still know several people that are keeping some...

Of all of the knobtails that I have seen in person, amyae are my favorite....I love the little yelps they let out when they get annoyed with you.

Here are a few good sites:

Kin Fong - http://knobtails.com/about.htm
Pilbara Pythons- http://www.pilbarapythons.com/nephruruslevis.htm

...and www.nephrurus.com used to have tons of photos and stuff but from some reason the site is down today.

Wow never heard of these guys before. Definately a fan. I love the amyae the orange one looks like thing from fantastic four. I want one

Talking to Justin as AAR a couple years ago about these guys, he mentioned that they are more difficult to breed than leos, they are not as prolific as many other commonly seen geckos, and incubation hasn't been as successful. That along with ceasing exports years ago has limited the number available. They (AAR) don't have as many breeding as before, as they are focusing on snakes more, but I know they do still have a few around. I love 'em personally, and if I ever decide to add some legged reptiles to the collection, they are toward the top of the list.

Knobbies are the best!! I'm "hoping" to get a pair of N. levis levis and D. galeatus later this year from Matt at www.lizardsofoz.com I couldn't agree more though, Knobbies are the cutest little things I've ever seen! I can not wait to get some! I just hope I can afford it!
